The way they explain it is they are zombies. The bullet is armor piercing and was meant to pierce vital organs. Since the flood don't have vital organs (they can survive with no heads for godsake) it doesn't do anything.
Plus... they're God-ugly. It's pretty hard to see the detail in the first game, but in the second... you just wanna grab a shottie and blow the limbs off it.
Back on track, William C. Dietz offers a suggestion that because of the combat form's spongy tissue, the round tears right through. And yes, of course, it has no vital organs, except for the host.
