Example (And I seen this happen, so hence forth the question) Predator with Autocannon and Heavy Bolter Sponsons shoots the Autocannon at a Rhino and destroys it, the Marines get out, the Predator then uses the Heavy Bolters on the squad that just got out. Player claims he was shooting at the whole unit squad and transport so he could finish shooting all weapons. I was in bystander and hate to throw in my 2cents as well as hate when people do it to me while I am playing. When I looked around the book I could not really find anything on this though.
Absolutely illegal. As page 67 says,
Note: remember that all models in a single unit fire simultaneously, so a squad cannot take out a transport with its lascannon and then mow down the occupants with their bolters.
The Predator Destructor should have fired both its autocannon and heavy bolters at the Rhino. It cannot fire at the transport (unit A) with one gun and the passengers (unit B) with another.

Also illegal, for the same reason. Combat squads lets you come sort of close to the effect, though (the demi-squad with the missile launcher could fire at the Rhino, and the other demi-squad could fire at the passengers, if the transport was destroyed).
