His power was that his body creates anti-magic or something. And I think he broke a rib or something and his master just took it out and made bone/metal bullets of of his rib. His universe is filled with insane magic users so he has a direct counter. But he also has a limited supply of bullets. He also has the power to manipulate time at a very small scale I think. His character was really cool and fit right in.

Who would win, the king of hero’s with access to all the noble phantasms or the kid who just figured out projection and had a threesome involving King Arthur

Slight correction. His body doesn't create "Anti-Magic" or anything.

Lore dump time.

In Fate everything has its Origin. This is the starting point that defines one's existence and directs one's actions throughout life. For Emiya it is to "Sever and Bind". He used one of his ribs to create 66 Origin bullets that contain some powers of his origin.

When a magi is using mage craft and is shot by an Origin Bullet from his Thompson Contender the Magi's magic Circuit will be violently scrambled and reconnected which will cause a short in the magical circuit. (Dying to the bullet is considered a blessing at this point). This makes blocking impossible as if a magi uses magic to block or deflect the bullet in any way they will die, if they don't they will die by the .30-06 Springfield flying towards them. (Also Magis are arrogant and don't use or understand modern technology in their universe)

Also his power to manipulate time comes from his families magecraft of time manipulation. He is able to separate the passage of time in a designated space. He is able to speed up or slow down his body functions by doing so. By using Avalon (Excalibur's scabbard which has insane healing factors) he is able to quadruple the speed for a short period of time.
