So, did they?
That is quite literally impossible with standard swarms. You were probably hit with a forge gun round at the same time, the swarms did like 160 damage and the forge gun did the rest.
Standard swarms do 880 damage, and they still only do 80% to shields, so that is a little over 700. Swarms are still bugged though in that they might do little to no damage to you if you are moving.

Why should 3 Swarm Volleys not take down your Python's shields? If someone unloads a clip from an AV weapon into you, it should have an effect. Especially if your hardeners aren't active. Because it is a light weapon. We need more heavy av weapons imho. Not because it's light weapon but because it's designed to be used against armor, not shields. Basic swarms should be doing 704 dmg to shields, not over 1000. Basic damage is 880 -20% against shields and +20% against armor, it's actually getting the bonus that it's supposed to be getting against armor.
No, like i said, you were getting hit by something else. The only issue anyone has had with swarms is
1) standards are ridiculously underpowered
2) they do not apply damage VERY often
No one has ever shown one bit of evidence that a swarm somehow did too much damage.... you stand alone.

You guys heard it here first, standard weapons should not effect protoype equipment. This means, logically, that all standard AR/ScR/CR/RR should for now on not take out a proto heavies shields. Standard forge guns should only tickle vehicle users until they are inevitably destroyed by god-mode.
