No we don't see Loki hurt by the repulsors. IM hits Loki with the repulsors and Loki is launched back. He smiles and puts up his hands in surrender.
Later on Cap says something like, "There's something wrong. Someone who packs that kind of punch doesn't just give up so easily". Paraphrasing, but I know it was something like that.
Later on we find out that Loki actually wanted to be captured so he can trigger Hulk.
So in the end, we don't really know how much the repulsors hurt Loki. We do know that he suffered no damage from it and was even able to smile after being hit.
Just another analogy for everyone to consider:
IM with all of his arsenal was unable to take down one of the chitauri leviathans. Hulk took out a leviathan with a single punch. Hulk slammed Loki multiple times (and slamming someone on the ground with full force is usually stronger than a punch) yet Loki survived without serious injury. Pretty much shows that IM doesn't have what it takes to fully take out Loki.

loki does a lot of grunting in pain, gets slapped around, and gets beaten down with more blunt force trauma then possibly ever depicted on screen, and yet he keeps getting up doesnt he?
What's you're point? If a single blast makes makes him grunt; imagine what a hundred or thousand would do. Loki, sure as hell, won't be able to just casually sit there and tank everything Tony can throw at him.

So those on the IM team have no real arguments as to how Stark can put down Loki permanently.
Yet Loki has two methods to put IM down for good with feats that actually back him up.
Pretty much the same argument on the Loki vs. Hellboy thread. Both Hellboy and IM have the means to hurt Loki and put up a fight, but no means to really take Loki out.
Should note the Hulk attack left his face bleeding
Also, how superhuman is Stark because Loki tossing him through that glass should have killed him on impact and it didn't leave a scratch on him.

If you choose to take that Hulk scene seriously
most heated and angry arguments in this forum would be nonexistent if people would stop with this childish and petty practice of "that scene doesnt count because i said so".
it was in the film, so it counts. simple as that. deal with it.
if that makes loki (almost?) indestructible, then it is what it is.
