There is also the idea of Stargate, SG1. Humanity fighting off a symbiotic race that uses humans as life support systems. Although the biology is rather mind boggling that we and the sybiote could both use O2, water, and the different terran amino acids.
Who do you shoot?
Granted, if they are marching in with their armor and staff weapons, backed up by (seemingly) few FTL mother ships, then, yeah, the target is obvious...
But what if they wise up?? Take off the armor. Pick up Uzi's or MAC-10;s and start blazing away. The symbiote gives the warrior greater strength, agilty and survivability on the battlefield.
It seems to me that if you get a head shot, the warrior is dead anyway. BTW, note to terran warriors. Take no prisoners or try to treat enemy wounded. THe symbiote might just jump into you!!!
