I don't know what you are doing wrong.  I have had had both of your results
happen, but most of the time both missiles hit the same gun and destroy it.

This works too.  For those who haven't tried it yet: be carefull how you fly
while you drop the paratroopers.  It is possible to cause the AA guns to 
kill the paratroopers while they are trying to hit your helecopter.
