In fairness to Darkseid the bullet did have radion, which is basically New God kryptonite
Not really.
It is a weakness, yes, but it was actually shown to not penetrate defenses before nor did it weaken powers.
Kalibak shot his brother Orion in the face at point blank range with a radion blaster.
The result?
Orion got pissed and beat Kalibak to within an inch of his life.
Whereas Highfather's wife, when shot with a radion blaster, died instantly. The New Gods were surprised that Desaad invented a weapon that kills instantly.
Now Darkseid, well, honestly I can't recall seeing him being shot by actual bullets before. And DC has this weird thing where people who can get smacked in the face by Superman aren't bullet proof, like Wonder Woman for most of her career, as if that makes sense.
Or the DC writers, being paid in booze and drugs, made it like kryptonite when it very much wasn't before.
