I agree with the above.

As for the calculations: again, you're only considering killfactor, disregarding the influence of skill. A skilled martial artist with a half-pound nun-chuck is much more dangerous than an unskilled fighter with a baseball bat. Even though the baseball bat is heavier.

first of all, with Captain America's skill and experience you can safely assume the best numbers for most if not all all attacks. Second, we don't really know the physics of vibranium-adamantium alloys, but you have to at least factor in its weight. Third, the PSI for a kick in most martial arts are about double that of a punch. Fourth, there are techniques (like jump kicks) which allow you to put even more force behind a kick or punch.

Most importantly, the human body (Apart from his unbreakable skin and denser muscle and bone structure Cage seems to be anatomically correct) has various degrees of durability in various places. A trained martial artist can safely take blows to his abdomen from punches, kicks or even blunt weapons. He will however protect his head. A blow to the temple, throat, eyes, groin, knee, or armpit can cause serious pain, injury or even death. The comic book 'reality' also allows for paralyzing nerve strikes.

Now it may seem far fetched to assume that someone can repeatedly deal successful flying shield-punches in the throat, but that's Captain America for you, he's just that good. He is the best you know.
