With a little creativity, and total dedication despite the high chance of being ripped apart, 100 men could take down a silverback without weapons or tools. Some go for the legs, some go for the arms, some go for the eyes, and then there’s the really buff guy that locks arms around the head, while the others turn him by the feet, like a wrench, until it’s neck breaks. Or someone jams their arm down it’s throat until it suffocates. May take a few attempts and arms. Or there’s the butthole, someone mentioned entrails, I dunno. Imagination.
~25 are more than enough, if they are willing to die. Once a single person gets on the gorillas back while it is distracted and does a proper rear-naked-choke its gg.
Edit: Even if you think this is bs, there is no fucking way a gorilla could take 100. People are vastly overestimating how strong the average gorilla is and underestimating how strong a human pumped full of adrenaline is.
Only way the gorilla wins is if it’s 100 wussies that’d just watch until it was their turn to get wrecked.
Even then, the gorilla would certainly need a nap before finishing everyone off. After all, humans have a greater capacity for energy output, and it’d be similar to putting down 100 pacifist pitbulls with your bare hands. Even athletes would tire out before finishing that off.
Ehh, a healthy male human could put down 100 pacifist rats, though, assuming they cannot hide. The entire point is a silverback literally cannot kill 100 men in one sitting unless they all walked up to it and politely asked to have their neck wrung.
A mandrill is much closer to human vs gorilla, if on the small side, and similarly, even an athlete would struggle to put out that much energy unless they all openly assisted in their own demise.
A guy still has a solid chance of killing 100 rats vs 100 mandrills, though. Just imagine a metal-head in a mosh pit stomping around… They definitely pass 100 stomps before they’re tired. There’s going to be WAY more dead rats than dead humans vs a gorilla even if the rats managed to bite enough.
I did, as a kid, in the horse stables I rode at. The owner had a standing offer of 10 marks per a dead rat. Never managed any.
Ofc they weren’t attacking me, different scenario. I’m just saying the aiming would be a little harder than in Skyrim.
Rats have a mean bite and jump quite a bit.
I’m honestly not sure about a hundred rats. Depends on what sort of armor you had I guess. If you get a leather jacket, thick denim pants, and good boots, you’re fine. If you’re naked though?
Even if you catch one in your hands, which might be harder than it sounds, wringing their neck while they scramble and bite might be a tad challenging. Even stomping on them or kicking them with a bare foot hard enough to kill might prove hard. Sterdy slippery bastards.
But yeah I still imagine a 100 naked men would win over a gorilla though.
Yea I don’t think a naked guy is taking out even the majority of 100 rats for sure. lol Though I imagine it’s a bit easier to catch/crush one when it’s bit on to you.

100%. A good comparison is 100 rats vs 1 human. And a human is much closer in strength to a gorilla than to a rat.

In this case I was talking about an actual fight. I should have explained that better. You are right though.

Ever tries stomping a rat?
