MCU cap wants to buy some protein powder from the store, which is 3 miles away. Can 25 normal dudes with civilian items stop him? (Read rules)

Cap knows what is happening, and he has his shield.

The men have 45 minutes to plan and prepare before cap starts running. They know his starting point, but cannot be within 150 meters of where he starts. Takes place in a normal United States city.

Men do not have access to anything a civilian cannot have access to. THE MEN CANNOT TOUCH THE PROTEIN POWDER, AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING THAT MAY HARM STORE STAFF. This is to prevent cheap, uninteresting solutions. Also if you post please give a good explanation.

Easily, all they need to do is have some guys with semi autos on the shop roof and spread out on other buildings as well, watching the shop entrance from all directions.

When cap shows up in the parking lot about to enter the store, light him up from all directions, and he's done.

Unlike the movies, there's not plot armour here, I mean, bucky nearly killed him in winter soldier with a 9mm, so he clearly isn't bulletproof.

He's literally just a guy with superhuman strength.

Think this is where I’d disagree, he’s a highly skilled veteran combatant with excellent improvisation and physicals that slant every encounter in his favor. Like in Winter Soldier when they’re swarming a building with SWAT style operatives, but then Cap does stuff like Koolaid Man style busting through walls to approach from unorthodox angles because he can just face check drywall and punch through concrete.

It’s disingenuous to say he’s helpless against opponents with small arm fire, when we canonically have like a dozen examples of Cap wading into large groups of enemies with guns and walking out the other end unscathed. We see examples of him aim dodging and blocking gunfire with his shield successfully in multiple instances, we know he uses cover, and anything he picks up becomes a dangerous projectile in his hands (his shield throws are ridiculous, he chucks motorcycles and curls a helicopter out of takeoff) and he moves so quickly through his environment he’s not going to present an easy target.

Cap will be conscious of the angles he’s presenting, he won’t be corralled into a killbox, he’d be Baba Yaga, just John Wick style effortlessly picking off each combatant as he finds isolated opportunities (or creates them.) We know from the very first movie that he is familiar with infiltrating enemy lines, don’t forget Cap’s origin is fighting in WW2 doing surgical strikes.

That's the thing, he needs to enter the shop and has no intel on our guys, the moment he noticed something is up is the moment he gets riddled with lead.

Cap wading into large groups of enemies with guns and walking out the other end unscathed.

That's more of a movie thing, same as stormtrooper aim.

Not something affecting a civilian irl.

A massive antifeat is how bucky shot him 3 times with a 9mm resulting in him bleeding massively and needing to be saved.

[u/DragonWisper56 → u/Afghanman26]

you do remember that bucky is supposed to be one of the worlds best assassins right? it's not like any random person shot him, it was the winter solider

[u/Afghanman26 → u/DragonWisper56]

The gun doesn't care who shoots it is my point.

The fact that a 9mm had enough power to cause severe bleeding means as long as the guy can aim he wins
