Hey guys, made this post on the destiny subreddit, thought it might be helpful for those of you that don't know about this yet.
I found out about this by accident while trying to solo crota. Makes little work of the yr iut phase. Haven't tested it against higher level shriekers, not sure if it works even if it takes more than 1 shot.

Some people reported that it does not work on other such as the ones in the current nightfall. Not sure if that's because their level is too high or if this is some sort of bug that is specific to the shriekers in the deathsinger part of the raid.
For those interested, I managed to capture a couple of freeze frames that show tha damage made by the shot. Seems like it hits 2 times. The first impact clearly deals 9032 damage: http://imgur.com/1ju6s3e ; the damage on the second hit is not really clear but seems to be either 807 or 867: http://imgur.com/d2XciEy . Also not sure if the shrieker is destroyed right with the first hit or if it needs the 2 hits to go down.
