Not one-shot, but a pair of Biotics with strong weapons can tag-team a Platinum Banshee to death in... certainly under 10 seconds, maybe as few as 6-7? I've never actually timed it.
A lot less if that biotic team has powers that debuff. Biotic bubble, warp, annihilation field and some focused weapons fire and Banshees are falling quickly. Reegar on a Valkyrie can probably dispatch a banshee on her own in less than 5 secs.
I landed into a Platinum lobby yesterday, and up until I heard a "squeaker," I knew it was a missile glitching lobby. No f****** way did they extract a platinum legitimately. And I was correct when I got in there.

Ladies and Gentlemen: a new challenge awaits.

Reegar Valkyrie or Reegar AIU: Who does it fasterest?

Reegar AIU(imo).... Just ridiculous that Repair Matrix.
I wonder what it would have been like if it had damage bonus to it

On platinum? The Valkyrie.
Some of the best players I have ever randomly encountered were in Platinum, including several on my FL who do not frequent BSN. Plat and Gold pugs, IMO, are completely random in ability
And the Reegar / Valkryie can outperform the Reegar / AUI vs bosses on all difficulties above Bronze. Hello warp, hello AF debuff
You can't one-shot a Banshee with any legit loadout.
Well, there is this-https://www.youtube....h?v=nF7PHc9KuRM (Javelin OHK on Gold Banshee that was debuffed by Tac Scan/Proxy Mine/Cryo Blast/Annihilation Field)
Don't know what relevant buffs/nerfs may have happened since then, or whether these guys were on PC with any weird modding, but it looks legit.

There's a player on my FL - ForgottenNobody who is really beastly with the GI / Javelin, and I have seen them 1 shot a Gold Banshee with 1/3 barriers left. They were using Warp IV and both piercing mods, plus Sniper gear V and a III Sniper Amp. Oh and the Javelin was an X
I have to assume it is certainly possible from full barriers
Edit - I had hit the Banshee with a warp triggered BE to take the barrier down to 1/3

Yeah, I tend to think its legit/possible-I mean, according to kalence a cloaked headshot with Javelin X and Warp IV does about 17,000 damage to barriers, about 15,500 to armor, and that's without any debuffs. Add all those debuffs, PLUS the +100% damage bonus (to what is already 15-17k damage!!!) from Warp Ammo (the Banshee was primed with AF), and it seems totally plausible.
Gold Banshee: 10125 / 16875 (barrier / armor)
Platinum Banshee (to which my comment referred): 13162 / 21937
Also keep in mind that what Kalence is telling you for a headshot is the standard multiplier of 2.5, not 1.4 like a Banshee.
Typically the best way to shoot a Banshee with the Javelin is to double hit her anyway, and I am not entirely sure that actually happens with a headshot.
Perhaps it ends up being possible for a primed target with enough debuff, although it is impossible to prime a banshee without inflicting damage... unless I am mistaken and she can be primed through power block (with something like Warp).

Without the bug/glitch... Reegar Valk vs Reegar AIU
For fun, here is a GI Build 65663
I used Targeting VI here w/ Assault Loadout (more in a second). WA4.
Boss Headshot under cloak is 8998.4. Ammo damage is 2504 to barriers if not primed, 5008 if it is primed.
Let's pretend the team is a biotic with Warp (15%), some Tac Scan (25+7.5%) person, a Cryo Blast (25%) person, and the GI w PM (20%). Debuff is 70% general plus 22.5% weapon.
WA damage to primed debuffed barriers is supposedly now 8514 and boss headshot damage is 14944. You need three headshots to kill her, and incidentally also 3 body shots.
Now the reason I mentioned Assault Loadout is that you could potentially burn all those thermal clip packs to get some more damage. Even if that works out, it isn't exactly sustainable.
Without the bug/glitch... Reegar Valk vs Reegar AIU
The AIU will probably win assuming the Valkyrie doesn't use incendiary and assuming the AIU's six TC evolution actually loads right and multiplies the damage of the Reegar. Valkyrie still is going to dispatch mobs faster because of the BEs but if we're talking just damage versus a boss enemy the AIU will probably win if you take cheese off the menu. She can also run into some mobs that the AIU would likely shy away from because of drain on AF. Repair matrix is awesome until you get revived into an instakill. 
Gold Banshee: 10125 / 16875 (barrier / armor)
Platinum Banshee (to which my comment referred): 13162 / 21937

Yeah forgot that that HS number wouldn't apply to Banshees. And you can see on the video that the banshee is missing a little bit of her barrier from the AF priming- but the atlas is at full shields. I doubt its possible against platinum bosses though. And I know its not exactly what you were talking about, but its still amusing- I for one hadn't even imagined that one-shotting a Gold Atlas/Banshee was possible, much less actually seen it done before I watched that video.
Um, guys, aren't we missing gate in all those fine calculations? Or did I get something wrong?
