If I remember right, its hard to take them down without being able to see the bugs animating them since most have several on their front and back. Good luck whichever option you take but it was easier to wait for the heat-vision goggles to take them down.
I guess I'll just have to try o.- I've watched youtube videos about blowing them to smithereens instead, but they all require fully upgraded TMPs and whatnot, not to mention oodles of ammo. If only the vendor sold ammo!
I was watching a video of someone going through professional mode without using the merchant and all. In-sane-.
Don't confuse a Regenerator with an Iron Maiden though, you cannot let Iron Maidens get close to you. They're the ones with spikes sticking out of them, and if they get close, the spikes elongate and pierce Leon. It's kind of beautiful to watch though, since he gets run through by dozens of spikes all at once. It nearly kills you though if you have maximum health and are full, likely a 1 hit kill in any other situation.

Frag and Incendiary grenades might be able to do the trick if you lack mines and rockets. They're fragile, it's just that you have to hit 4-5 contact points in a limited amount of time.
Although it is hella freaky when they start regenerating body parts AS I'm slashing them o.-
I guess because to me it just sounds like a normal person TRYING to sound scary about breathing. I'm more disturbed by the distorted voices of the commandos...not to mention the music it plays around regenerators. I'm also not scared of iron maidens, just the regens o.- I guess because regens are firmly in the uncanny valley.Silent Hill, now...there's a series to scare a person through and through. I've had the first four games of it for a long time now, and I still can't get very far into any of them.
Edit: this conversation just got me all interested in the uncanny valley theory again, and I found an interesting seminar about it. Well, interesting to me. Kait fucked around with this message on 04-25-2008 at 11:55 PM.

I killed the first regenerator with the shotgun. Took alot of ammo, but was doable. Perhaps I was lucky.
Going to have to say lucky. You can kill them with any weapon easily if you know where their parasites are, which after a couple, you learn since they're in static locations. Shooting blindly, yeah, you can hit them eventually.
It was awesome.

Regenerators aren't uncanny valley, they're just bagmen/yetis like some sort of first-grader "monster" napkin sketch.
Uhm, that doesn't necessarily bar them from the uncanny valley. They're definitely recognizable as human-like, only...off.
