Because the Flood practically have no sense of pain, and they don't use the hosts' heart or brain for the original purposes, they don't suffer the ill effects of a sudden shot- the reason why some shots will kill non-Flood even if it's the torso or legs is because it'll cause shock to the nervous system.

yeah a sniper bullets just goes in and out of a flood form, so its only does as much damage as say a stab-wound would. The reason the shotgun, plasma rifle, and AR, work is cause you basically, destroy a flood form's entire midsection...
