Y’all are severely overestimating unarmed humans. It’s ridiculous, unless the gorilla is sleeping. 15-20 men could dogpile the gorilla and it would just stand up and swat ten other men down with one arm.
The gorilla could charge the group like silverbacks seem to always do, half the men would instantly be incapacitated.
The gorilla could take one guy, lift him by his head swinging him around to beat all the other men, or just rip the guys legs off and then use the legs as weapons.
The gorilla could climb a tree and then take a nap, and any of the guys who tried to climb the tree would fall to their deaths.
With spears or sticks or rocks the men would win, but without any weapons, it’s dumb to think the men even have a chance….
In real life… a hundred men could scare a gorilla away, as long as the gorilla didn’t realize they were unarmed.
You are hilariously overestimating a gorilla. Completely and utterly. A large gorilla is only ~500lbs. There are some healthy humans that weigh about that much.
Would you be able to play around in a fight vs 100 mandrills? Because there’s more of a difference between a mandrill and a human male than a human male and a silverback. You are imagining WAY too much for a gorilla.
Biologist Dirk Draulans commented on this topic and his conclusion was that the first 10 to 20 people would be cannon fodder who’d get their limbs ripped off, but after two minutes the gorilla would tire and be overpowered. Similar to running it’s humans their endurance that wins over explosiveness.
If we allow for skilled fighters, I bet only a handful would even suffer serious injury before the gorilla was either tired out or choked to the floor. Gorillas aren’t that much bigger than a healthy male unless you’re only pulling from Indonesia or something ridiculous like that. 300-500lbs vs 180-200lbs. All the doubters are clearly imagining a 2000lb killing machine… (hell someone else was comparing them to mammoths!)

Here. Watch someone who actually knows what the hell they’re talking about. https://youtube.com/watch?v=cFf6YowOm7o
This.
People massively underestimate numbers. 100 people is a lot.
For comparison, a human would have no trouble against a single terrier. But an unarmed human against 100 terriers is a different story.
In movies it’s quite easy for a skilled fighter to take on 100 enemies. In reality, 1 vs 3 is already a very unbalanced fight.
What? Even if you were 2.5 metres tall, you’d still be very obese.
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson was ~460lbs at his heaviest. He is not obese.

The best of our fighters all 20-30 of them immediately die ok I’ll agree
handful seriously injured equals 20-30 killed to you? Let me guess, maths isn’t your biggest strength?
Obstinance doesn’t make you correct. It makes you a dunce.
