If we used the logic of AP rounds piercing armor, then everybody would be using sniper rifles with that kind of ammunition. There are some things that need to be excused in this case. Along with using explosives. At any rate,  here's my verdict.

Shiro can still block rounds. Kara is ranged. Shiro get's close, she's done. The problem comes with getting there. See, she'll hammer down with sniper rifle rounds, there's no doubt about that. But Shiro's semblance allows him to block the bullet's more effectively. Not to mention the thing is blast-proof. That speaks volumes alone. And the fact his shield can use Dust to help supress the power of the rounds.

Shiro gets my vote.
