Can you take a feel no pain against a mortal wound? From what I see the damage bypasses armour or forcefields so why would it not bypass a feel no pain?

Because Ignore Wounds rules (to use the correct term, there is no such thing as a "Feel No Pain" rule anywhere in 8th edition) are not saves. This is explicitly covered by Rulebook FAQs.

Q: Can abilities such as Disgustingly Resilient be used to ignore wounds if they were inflicted by mortal wounds?
A: Yes.

In addition to the FAQ answer:

Mortal Wounds cause the model to lose a wound.

"Feel No Pain" type rules trigger when the model loses a wound.

Therefore, "Feel No Pain" type rules can ignore wounds lost by Mortal Wounds.
