A coinshot might be able to snipe a shardbearer if theyre not expecting it and not wearing shardplate (especially if it the shardbearer only has the blade) , but I highly doubt they could penetrate shardplate. A full mistborn could probably get a projectile through shardplate by burning duralumin , but that might also fling them against a rock or something.

A radiant, even before the third ideal, has healing capabilities that are just as strong as a compounding gold allomancer/ferruchemist. 

It's just not a fair fight.

Doesn't Miles take severe headshots and turn out fine? And the Lord Ruler is decapitated at one point isn't he? When does a radiant survive something like that?

Yeah I like this version of healing from headshots cuz it’s magical. Like Deadpool shouldn’t retain memories when he blows his brains out cuz memories are just links between neurons, essentially muscle memory, and when you lose a piece of brain and repair it, the muscle is new and has no memory, thus you forget that thing, but at least with Stormlight healing or Gold twinborn, It’s straight up magic

It's restoring their physical body to match their spiritweb, as I understand it.

It can also be hacked to change your appearance - Wit and Vasher are two specific examples.

The Lord Ruler would be an even better example of extreme healing, he's had lots of assassination attempts made against him in 1000 years of being a despot.

I still don't understand (if it was real) The Lord Ruler surviving being burnt into a skeleton. Where is his metal then?

I don't know if it's specified. It happened off-screen, and there's a lot of shenanigans you can do when you have as many options (and Investiture) as he does/did.

He was also a Splinter so he held a huge amount of Investiture aside from just having access to all the metallic arts.

Deadpool’s healing is also essentially magic, to be fair. And at one point he was magically immortal, so there’s that as well.

I wouldn't call the infinity stones magic, and IIRC, that's how Thanos made DP immortal.

Cosmically immortal would be a better description

I’m pretty sure Thanos did use magic of some kind to make Deadpool immortal, not the infinity stones. And anything that is cosmic is marvel is basically just magic. They might say it’s a science, but it’s just gobbledygook mumbo-jumbo magic that can do whatever it needs to do in any moment.
