I manage that on a fairly regular basis, but only when engaging a crippled or dead-in-the-water merchant. I don't get into gunslinging with healthy ones.
It takes a direct hit to take out a gun mount. You can pepper all around it, setting cargo and crates ablaze and exploding, and still have the sucker fire back. But there's no mistaking when you
do hit it: an explosion seemingly out-of-proportion, much bigger than just the round going off, and a big whitish fireball with debris fanning out.
Keep in mind I'm speaking of gun mounts on merchants. I've no experience (and don't foresee
ever gaining any :p ) about targeting and engaging
warship gun mounts.
