Battle Which superheroes/villains would lose to a real world SWAT team if they were stripped of plot armor?

The SWAT team will employ real world tactics and resort to deadly force if necessary. Whoever they're facing off against has their standard gear and will resist to the best of their ability, but they don't get any of their standard plot armor.

Cap is explicitly able to dodge bullets.

Like this isn’t a plot armor thing he’s just that good.

12 man team spread out with 15 meter distance, pointing guns at him and firing simultaneously? Or standard room in hotel firing from door way from short distance? 

I'd say that Swat team has fair chance of killing him but they're not assasins, so they first give commands, put on cuffs, then Cap breaks those cuffs and beats shit out of them. If they however went in with intention to kill, i'd say Cap could actually die.

It definitely depends on location and the situation. But he has stopped firing squads before.

Assuming it’s not dropping him in front of a readied team unprepared I’d give him good odds, he’s fast enough trying to aim at him when he’s avoiding is difficult even without aim dodging, or active dodging.

And once he closes they kinda, fold instantly, he can shove his shield through stuff much tougher then swat armor.
