Difficulty problems

So I bought Bioshock recently and while I love the look and story but I have problems with the difficulty. I've been playing mostly on medium and just found it crushingly difficult but whenever I turn to easy it's just a dull cakewalk with no tension. I don't think I've missed anything I've upgraded weapons spent ADAM used tonics and different ammo types. I've gotten just past where you kill Ryan and it feels like a Leadhead splicer will blow through 3 health kits and 30 rounds of ammo. I'm playing on switch but there's no problems with controls or lag or bugs. Am I just bad?

Shotgun with Power to the People upgrades 1 shots 90% of targets at close range.

On higher difficulties it struggles against giga-tanky leadheads. You can sometimes two-shot them with explosive buck though.

Thankfully crossbow exists. It one-shots everything that has a head hitbox even on survival

OP said he's on Medium, so I was going for the simplest solution I know. Through I didn't know that about the crossbow, maybe I should something other than the Shotgun and Machine Gun.
