Would be useful until they figure out how guns work

primitive guns wouldn't do anything
if they got modernized then benders become irrelevant in combat

cheese with a single bullet.

Benders start using guns.

They would start Gun Bending. Now the Avatar has to master all 5 elements.

Are any metal bender that fast ?

They would certainly be a threat, but any experienced bender would be able to defend themselves against them. Earthbenders are the most obvious, any metal weaponry used against them is effectively useless. I don't believe that they'd be able to bend a bullet in flight, but even just shaking the ground slightly would make them impossible to shoot. They have the most options to defend themselves.
Fighting a firebender while carrying gunpowder around is a death sentence, for obvious reasons, but more modern guns could reasonably put them down. Although at that point, I assume firebenders would have figured out how combustion bending works and that causes a whole lot of issues itself.
Airbenders and waterbenders would be the weakest against guns. Meme as much as you want about 'wind walls' and stuff like that, any gun, from any era, is going to tear through that instantly, and the airbenders usual MO of 'dodge everything' doesn't work against firearms either.
Waterbenders might be able to form ice walls, or bloodbend, but both of those are situational. The only real defense I can see waterbenders forming is healing themselves from the bullet wounds after getting shot.
I'll let someone else ponder on 'benders with guns.'

Earthebenders are all about defense so presumably yes.
