I went for the Triple Play medal, and what do you know...I got it.
Tsavo, Storm, and Floodgate. And all are Misanthropic runs, no less.
The Storm was a bit of an oddity. At the very end, I used something I didn't know about until I watched Pahat's Storm run. Tyrant was also in the party, so he saw it as well. It takes two overcharged shots to destroy the A.A. Gun. You can even range-shot them with the proper timing.
Back to my story, my first volley was timed incorrectly. I charged my second volley and fired with the correct timing, watching the shots converge and connect with their target...and right around that time, I hear the quick three-note trill that signifies a stick. I heard the grenade explode, and the gun began to break apart. I activated my Invincibility right around when I heard the beeping, but I'm almost positive it wouldn't have been in time, and yet I didn't die. It's worth a replay to me, because even if I didn't get stuck, it should have killed me. Perhaps the cutscene itself makes you invincible.
Anyways, as I've been saying since the 7th, I'll get those in my File Share when I can.
Edit: I reviewed the footage. I had no shields. I did get stuck. I played it slowly, waiting to see when I used my Invincibility...I could even tell my thought process at the moment, watching myself jump in an attempt to get away from the grenade if it were by my feet...and then it exploded. I watched the explosion dissipate and checked. The Master Chief wasn't even bleeding. I checked what the status of the A.A. Gun was when I was enveloped in the explosion and could see parts of it falling off. I think that once the A.A. Gun has taken X amount of damage and can take no more hits, it is considered destroyed. You are invincible after the A.A. Gun is destroyed.
