It's not. "Can't Be Dodged" isn't a legit Cosmic. There's no such thing as "Selective Fire". There's "Selective Area" but that only applies to area effect attacks. Autofire is not area effect.

Power-Ups 4: Enhancements, p. 8:

Cosmic: No active defense allowed (+300%)
Only for attacks that the target can dodge, block, or parry. Your target gets no active defense against your attack, no matter how fast or skilled he is. If your attack roll succeeds, you hit. The victim’s DR and other purely passive protection work normally; see Irresistible attack (above) to fix that. This enhancement doesn’t prevent resistance rolls; see the introduction to Cosmic (p. 6) for more details.

So yes, it is legal, subject to GM approval.

The defense against this is simple...

Give targets have more HP.

Blind him/impair vision.

Obscure targets so he can't see them.

Attacks from behind.

Put afflictions on him to lower his skill.

Etc etc...

Generally, if you let people take a lot of cosmic mods, this sort of thing happens =) It's cosmic! Generally only cosmic deals with cosmic.
