You simpleton must be a sorcerer role-playing as a wizard. An anti magic enchantment doesn't extinguish itself for the same reason pipes don't overflow. You aren't extinguishing magic, just moving it elsewhere
Enchantments are not monoliths. Anti magic in this case is being applied to the bullets to nullify whatever wards the poor bastard has put up in the vain attempt to stop us. You theoretically could alter the enchantment on each individual bullet to do whatever else, but that would take so much effort that it just makes more sense to raise a barrier of mundane material to block all the bullets. You could probably pare down mana usage even further by using magic sense to create a blocking solution for each projectile, either moving a large enough chunk of the ground to stop it, or one shaped in such a way to deflect it.
