What's the fastest a genetically or technologically enhanced human could regenerate?

After watching this brilliant video by Shoddycast about Stimpaks in the Fallout universe:

I started to wonder. Just how many of science fiction's most memorable regenerators, even the ones in supposedly harder sci fi, are complete bullshit? How fast could you reasonably expect an enhanced human to heal given what we currently know about biology and medicine and what we can extrapolate about future technology? How does nanotech healing compare to regeneration granted by gene therapy? Is there a third, more effective/efficiency alternative?

Basically, what are the limits of human regeneration in modestly hard science fiction and how quickly could someone enhanced with the future technology currently envisioned today heal from a gunshot wound?
