When the Flood infection forms transform a host, they change the basic DNA. Essentially, all the internal organs and whatnot are turned into a mushy substance, as they are no longer needed and decay. Really, the only things the Flood combat forms need are their legs, their arms, and the infection form inside. Therefore, if you shoot a bullet through a Flood combat form, you have to hit the infection form to do any damage. Whereas with a normal biological, you'd severely damage internal organs.
To be honest, it is disappointing you can snipe Flood in the bodies. It really detracts from the immersion.
