Barry has been tagged numerous times by people with absolutely no reason for hitting him. And if he's slow enough to get hit by people so far below Cap and Bucky, Cap and Bucky will hit him. Because it's all in character.
Also he's not great with bullets, which Bucky has a lot of.
Current Flash just got zapped by lightning and and before that was building up speed for 5.3 miles only for Gorilla Grodd to effortlessly catch his punch. Also he couldn't stop a bullet from hitting that shapeshifter.
Those high ends of his are only during super traumatic events where all hope seems lost or he can't afford to fail. Like saving Joe(his surrogate father) from lightning or running so fast he accidentally goes back in time.
Let's not act like he can just pull those stunts off whenever, because he'd have been much more effective if he could.

This is in character though. So that's exactly what he'll do. In character he gets beat down and tagged by normal people(normal as in don't move any faster than usual) all the time. So Widow, Cap, and Bucky can all score hits. Plus they can shoot him as he's shown multiple times he's still having trouble against bullets.
And as far as I know, Firestorm isn't bulletproof nor is he faster than bullets. I think any of the three on the team who use guns would try and take out the flaming guy pretty quick.
LOL at bullets now taking out these guys. Bucky had bullets too and it didn't stop Cap, cut the crap. I guess Batman, Black Widow, Hawkeye and tons of others never fought people with guns. Guns is like the #1 meta's deal with on a daily basis.
He was just getting his ass handed to him a few episodes ago by Gorilla Grodd who has no super speed to his name, yet was blocking every hit Barry threw his way, even the Mach Speed punch where he built up speed for 5.3 miles.
He's been shot in the back of the neck with a bullet(barely), and just recently could only stop 2 of the 3 bullets Joe shot at that shapeshifter. If he could only stop 2 rounds from a pistol, what's he going to do against automatic weaponry from at least two different people?
Don't act like Barry can just go back in time willy nilly. He did it once, technically twice, and it was an accident. He was pushing himself as fast as he possibly could go because the entire city would have been wiped out by Weather Wizard's tsunami if he didn't. He's never gotten close to that speed since. You watch the show right?
You cut the crap. How about you watch the show and tell me honestly you think Barry can not only perform at the levels you have him at constantly(even though it's a very rare thing), but won't job like he always does because this is in character.
