Indeed. I believe someone mentioned it on the Dragon thread I started a few years back. But yeah, I can't remember who published it either.

The 30mm fires explosive rounds, not bullets - so they would explode on impact, not bounce off.
They still might not do much damage, but in the search for accuracy...
Putting fantasy geek hat on; I can only assume said dragon is "very ancient." We're talking beyond ancient status here, because even ancient dragons are prone to slices from human (dwarven, elven, orcish, what not) bladed weaponry (game system depending).
Or, said pilots just happen to be untrained, or ignorant enough, or unlucky enough to keep hitting the dragon's topside reinforced armor.
I wonder how a grav tank or grav attack "gunship" might fare. G-carrier with an X, Y, or Z gun on the pintel mount? Empress APC?
Switch it up a little, and maybe the dragon has some kind of super-reflective armor. Suddenly those heavy high energy weapons are splaying off a mirrored dragon with god knows what as a breath weapon.

I remember reading in Shadowrun (3E) that adult, and this is younger than Elder, dragons could take on an air force unit and survive. Though in Shadowrun they do have more command of magic than your average human, and have an ability to influence luck/fate.
So a dragon who's had enough time to master some sorcery and grow into his powers could easily take on an individual helicopter, though if the helicopter's crew is good enough they may do some damage.

So, why didn't the helo just use the 2.75" rocket pod that was shown on its port wing pylon in part of the video?
Go figure.
It can also fire Armour Piercing Anti-Tank rounds. That can penetrate up to 6 inches of armour plate.
