Well if you in reality were hit, Hikaru, with one shot in the stomach with a sniper rifle, you would probably die. Heck, your entire mid-torso would probably be gone. Sniper rifles are capable of massive damage to human flesh, head hit or torso hit. Full body shielding and body armor make it somewhat believable that the chief could survive a sniper shot (especially one with 2552 tech), but the fact still remains that the SR bullet goes through the chief. If a bullet goes straight through him, I think a Spartan should be dead or very close to it.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Halo sniping is just plain ridiculous. The SR is too easy to use and just doesn't do enough damage. Personally, I think it needs some big changes for Halo2. One-hit kill to the torso, or at least close to it from a covenant sniper rifle isn't too hard to believe. Assuming it's plasma, the Spartan hit by it would have a hole burned through him. If the pain alone doesn't render him unconcious, he should be on his last leg after that.
