If this was preboot Aquaman he has tanked blasts that I believe exceed Scott's capabilities.
A perfect example of this is the continent sized Starro's blast he took point blank that KOed Orion IN SPACE but Aquaman was still consious after that.
As for current AQ he already has some great durability feats.
A punch from Darkseid, clearly bulletproof, survived a point blank laser shot then the explosion of a flying plane and then the consequent fall to earth, he is also immune to poisons that just by touch paralyze normal humans, and also survived a whole friging ancient temple collapsing on his SPINE.
And he also casually takes BMantas blasts that have been shown to KO Atlantean soldiers (elite soldiers not footmen in particular) in one blast.
I'd say he has a pretty good chance on tanking alot of stuff

Didn't bullets pierce his skin?
They make a small cut like pinch from a needle.
He just gets madder.
In his last issue he doesn't even wear his armor when Manta's thugs shower him with bullets.
Plus when he was still a teenager he took a point blank harpoon (out of water) on his back.
The harpoon broke on impact.

They make him bleed, but more often seem like nicks and cuts than actually doing internal damage.This was a guy who had a BIG piece of shrapnel yanked out of his leg, and he was able to walk around on it with seemingly no difficulty.
I haven't completely caught up on Aquaman yet in the New 52 so I don't know his latest feats, but I remembered he was shot and bled a little in one of the earlier issues.

He does bleed (this is the most recent example):
As you can see, there is blood, but he just doesn't seem very bothered by it. I think, what it seems to me, anyway, is that while his skin isn't dense enough not to get cut, his muscles are. Bullets are seen crushed and bouncing off of his skin even if he's bleeding, so there is an element of durability to it i think.

it wouldn't be in character for him to do so, even with what marvel has done to him these days.
* that's the sad part, i guess... naturally, he is a good person... even if he was pretty much mauled by Osborn, he still did not GOML blast him... it shows a high-level restrain Scott has over his powers, even if he's against a psychotic iron-clad villain...
Current Cyclops has a helmet that restrains his blasts as standard equipment. He judo flips AM a few times but loses.
Classic Cyclops may be able to keep blasting away with enough accuracy and power to keep AM at bay and maybe even take him down eventually. Depends if Cyke has the stamina to keep it up long enough to damage AM enough before he closes in.

Naah don't seem likely.
And I hope Johns stays for a long time.
He might strike out a few (very few times) but he is at his best when he is building mythologies and he is doing great with AQ.
But when the seat empties, I wouldn't mind PAD. At all.
Tough call. I think cyke has the long range advantage and is not a terrible h2h. Not saying it would be adviable for him to fight him in cqc but I don't think as soon as Arthur get's into arms reach it's over. Cycke has done fair against the likes of Logan and captain america (to my surprise).
So I would say if aquaman does get close it's not necessary over. He would have to land some solid hits and avoid point blank blasts to win but i don't think that is outside of his abilities. I want to say AM for the very slight majority.
