I seem to remember some episode where a person shot at Namor and it actually ricocheted off his skin and hit and killed someone's father. The young lady tried to get revenge using a magic trident or something of the like, mistakenly blaming Namor for the death.
That would have been many, many years ago.
I'm not sure, a la Hulk, if Namor is as durable now or in recent years as he would have been back during that time.
Again, these things change.
For instance, in Hulk #181, the debut of Wolverine, Wolverine fought Hulk and tried to use his claws as weapons against Hulk.
They did not cut. They were actually more effective against the magically protected Wendigo than Hulk himself.
Flash forward to the era of World War Hulk. Wolverine's blades now cut not only Hulk but several Hulk derivatives, including Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk. They don't do lasting damage because they are healed, but they DO inflict damage, which they did not before with a theoretically (slightly) weaker incarnation. Hulk has traded a measure of invulnerability for healing and/or regeneration.
Has Namor? I have no idea.
If he IS still tough enough to refect bullet fire, he should be tough enough to handle teeth, even Megalodon teeth.
In which case he takes this fairly easily, since the only real weapon against him then would be the acid in the belly of these sharks if one or more managed to swallow him.
Again, though, the history is confusing. I seem likewise to remember Sub-Mariner's cousin, Namorita, getting shot by something that pierced her, some kind of edged harpoon by a villain named Sea Urchin.
However, this might be analagous to Wonder Woman, where comparatively rounded projectiles do no damage but sharp ones do.
At any rate, if the speed and strength of Sub-Mariner's little female cousin here are an accurate indication, the sharks are actually at a disadvantage:
