It's a rivaling feat, certainly not more impressive.
The epidermis on one's face is about a millimeter and a half in width. The cornea on the eyeball is about half a millimeter and is a far more sensitive tissue. A pistol firing a relatively low caliber round at point blank range so as to crush the shell upon the cornea obviously is more impressive than high velocity shells ricocheting off his thicker, less sensitive facial epidermis, without pulverizing the shells, even with gravity at their back.
MOS was actively trying to avoid them whereas Returns Superman (who was faster in that he could catch up to bullets of similar velocity that had already been fired from miles away) was wholly unconcerned.
Do you know how much thinner the Plus flying up and into the world machine should equal lifting that chunk of kryptonite.
The atmospherical articulates were strongest directly under it, but it wasn't doing better than a large crater. Again; a feat similar to Returns Superman, especially considering the machine emitted an atmosphere detrimental to MOS's health, as Kryptonite would. However, when we're talking Kryptonite island, we're talking about a mass far exceeding MOS's even with excessive G's forces, even if they were increasing his mass millions of times over.
