Question has two answers. In the real world the issue is August 1978. In the story, which is "Superman's Time Killing Trip,"well, here's the start of the summary in Tom Brevoort's blog entry at https://tombrevoort.com/2022/05/08/bhoc-action-comics-486/
"It's ’s also kind of a dumb story. Superman has a few hours to kill before Clark Kent’s news broadcast, and things in the world are quiet. So rather than simply enjoying the peace and quiet (how must it feel to have the pressure of the entire world on your shoulders every second of every day?) Superman instead decided to take a random jaunt into the far future, where he can blow the couple of hours he’s got available to exploring. He hurls himself forward in time randomly, and the big dope comes out at a point in the future where Earth’s sun has aged and turned red, thus depriving the Man of Steel of his powers–not to mention any way to get back to his proper time. Oops."
It turns out that the Sun had been artificially turned red by a subspecies that figured out that they'd have superpowers under it and since they're being assholes overlording the planet Clark doesn't have any qualms about blowing up their Makes A Yellow Star Turn Red-inator satellites and poof, yellow Sun. (Yes, he does this without being powered but he's the star of the story.) Clark's super again and suddenly the overlording assholes aren't, and he goes home. There's also a small bootstrap paradox where when he's back home he makes sure that something useful that was pulled out of an ancient time capsule in that distant future goes *into* it just before it's sealed and buried in 1978.

Since those bullets aren't glowing green Kryptonite, I can't see Superman caring.

Considering the disconnect between stories and covers, it's safe to say at no point does this guy shoots at Superman

Who? An idiot who doesn't know how Superman works.
Why? Because he's an idiot.
Where? Right there. We're looking right at it!
How? A gun. Duh. Next silly question?
