Kicking someone's head so hard it decapitates them?

The closest things there are to this in the References for Common Feats are Breaking a Human neck, Snapping a Human neck, Ripping off heads and Crushing a Human Skull. Kicking someone's head off cleanly is clearly superior to breaking the neck. Snapping a neck seems closer in terms of sheer impressiveness but its calculation result is for Lifting Strength. Ripping off heads should be even closer but this is again calculated as Lifting Strength. If the head gets crushed in the process of decapitation by kicking, then it would probably scale to crushing a skull.

How would the kg force/Newtons values translate to AP? It's clearly not a lifting thing since the kick is hard enough it servers the head

The best answers I can offer to that are the definitions of Newtons and Joules. A Newton is 1 kg⋅m/s² and a Joule (kg⋅m²/s²) is defined by Wikipedia as "equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton-metre or N⋅m)." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule)

I wonder what would be the distance in this case

Probably whatever distance you can define based on the scene. The distance would definitely be bigger than the width of the neck since that is what is being completely severed. Maybe it would be the distance the kick is traveling?

Street level is given for being able to decapitate with sharp objects, a leg has way more surface area than a blade and needs way more joules behind it to reach the same PSI
