I’m pretty sure Clive Owen’s character from “Shoot ‘Em Up” can do that. While eating a carrot and having vigorous sex with an eastern European prostitute and juggling a baby, during a car chase, while skydiving.
Since he refers to his opponent with the phrase “you all”, I assume he already fought some other henchmen with guns without getting riddled with bullets.
Mythbusters actually covered this. Bringing a knife to a gun fight is actually a good plan if you can stab them before they can aim. But the range of effectiveness is better if the gun isn’t already drawn.
Knives can be fine to fight guns. In crammed areas or in houses walking aournd corners knives have a caertain advantage over guns, being fast and needing just one move to kill, but a sword kinda never does.
A bayonet makes a longarm (typically a rifle) double as a spear, and there are specific styles/disciplines for wielding rifles, with and without bayonets, as melee weapons. All of which still technically count as guns when brought to a knife fight.
Aside from rifles, which may be a bit unwieldy, in some cases a handgun may be on par or superior to a knive only if used as a club. You can easily smash a skull with many handguns, but that’s kinda a counterintuitive way to use them.
Given all of the supers running around, I wouldn’t be surprised if this modern Samurai Jack was able to deflect bullets with ease.
On the other hand, maybe that guy’s power is to deflect swords by shooting them

It’s easy to chase a car while skydiving … you know where it’s going.

That’s when one shoots the one with the knife and says, “Guess that means I lose.”
Hindsight is 20/20.
“You all”
Is he southern?
Indeed. He’s from Nagasaki.
I think y’all be confusing “you all” with “y’all”, y’all.

You’ve just described a most plausible origin for the firearm-mounted bayonet, good sir.

Talk about over thinking a problem! If either one had just attacked instead of chatting, there would have been one more corpse.
Which one would depend on who won the intiative roll.
