In the books it's kinda a mix of dumb luck and Sharpe being the equivalent of a British Terminator, who does nothing but kill and sling dick across Europe and India.
If I remember correctly, among other normally mortal wounds he gets shot in the dome twice throughout the series and lives.
The story kinda jumps the shark a bit here and there, but the descriptions about the military history like logistics and tactics are pretty great in all the books.
Ah, sure bullets were slower back then...
