I've observed this as well. Tested my Boar Prime against nullifiers to see if it was optimal for taking out their shields. Holding down the trigger just seems to waste ammo and doesn't cause the shield to go down faster, even though each "separate bullet" should register as separate hits, and each bullet does < the 400 damage cap on those shields. In summary, holding down the trigger and dumping a whole clip will take the shield down, leaving the nullifier still standing, which requires a quick melee stab or a teammate to finish him off.

On the other hand, if I take single shots with Boar Prime against the nullifier shield, I can take the shield down and still have ammo in the clip to finish off the nullifier himself.
