My guess is that the AR15 he was using allowed him to hit police faster than they could hit him, and he got lucky.
If the police officers hit Bowers with bullets fired from handguns, he has a much better chance of surviving than if he'd been hit by bullets fired from rifles (which tear up internal organs). He likely surrendered only after the big guns arrived on the scene.
Again, I'm just guessing. I'll see if I can find some confirmation about the first responding officers' firearms and post it when available.
