With the 1/10 Malus against vehicles, the RR does not have enough total damage with every single bullet it has to take down a Dropship, much less accounting for your shields which will not stop regening under small arms fire

Was it a Forge Gun? It is a Hybrid Rail.
Maybe a small rail turret. 
Anywho, the weapons that an infantryman can carry that will damage you are:
Locus Grenades (Barely)
Flux Grenades
AV grenades
REs (Actualkly got a low-flying derpship once with proxes)
Mass Drivers (Barely)
Flaylocks (Barely)
Swarm Launchers
Plasma Cannons
Forge Guns
HMGs (Barely)

A MLT Gorgon has what, 3000 EHP at least, so this guy did 30,000 light weapon damage then which is 10,000 damage per clip?
I just don't see how it's possible, even with engine shots. Maybe a large blaster was not rendering properly (I've had it happen to me before) and was helping, or some sneaky HMG or Sml-Rail guy, as any infantry light weapon not designed for AV will find it literally impossible to down an intact vehicle without help, due to the weapon type malus.

When you aim any weapon at a normal location on a vehicle, and it is not one of the weapons I listed earlier, you will do only 10% normal damage, hence me multiplying all numbers by ten,
Example, a RR will have a 90% efficiency versus shields and 110% versus armor, or if against a vehicle or installation it will change to 9% versus shields and 11% versus armor.
You can test this out yourself by aiming at a vehicle you called yourself, a great way to find where to aim at vehicles for the "extra damage" sweetspots by paying attention to when your efficiency numbers change.

The rate of fire of the weapon visually appeared to be 3 or 4 rounds per second. It was long like a RR and had a yellow flash. Could it have been a damage modded breach something or other?
Yellow flash does suggest an AR, likely indeed a Breach AR, but again unless it was a freak glitch the weapon could not have done this itself even with maxed prof and 5 complex d-mods on a commando.
You can always try this yourself, of course
