It would probably take 5 -10 unarmed (and not allowed to use any tools) fit adult men to take down a gorilla, depending on a variety of factors. Most gorillas would rather run than confront humans, though.
What are they gunna do, punch it to death? Good fucking luck. They’re not going to be able to pin it down, the gorilla will probably gut at least one of them and beat the shit out of a couple before anything even gets going and it may even use as a flail against the others if it’s feeling particularly spicy and tool-usey that day.
That big forehead is also because it’s all muscle that pulls a giant, fanged mouth shut with incredible force. Grown adults can be killed, and definitely at least subdued, by dogs and you think a handful of “fit” men could take a gorilla?
Laughable, honestly. They couldn’t even do enough damage if they came upon while sleeping and didn’t have a huge rock to crash on its head.
They don’t have to kill the gorilla, just disable it. Fingers, meet eyeballs. It’s hard to stop five pairs of arms at once. It would be at great cost to the men, of course, but it’s not as impossible as you make it seem.
Have you seen a gorilla? Even 10 men, it grabs one and starts flailing him around like a sack of potatoes, knocking everyone down potentially. Go ahead and charge a gorilla flailing an adult to poke its eyes.
How easy do you think it is to get in a gorilla’s eyes? Their arms are incredibly long and built like tree trunks, they could toss anyone aside with embarrassing ease. And that’s not to mention the teeth you’ll have to stick your hand in the general direction of, though I did already mention them.
The eye thing works for alligators that have already bitten you and it’s largely because at that point they have nothing to keep your arms away from their face.
You’re not disabling a gorilla with only five to ten “fit adult men”. You might get ten incredibly strong and heavy weightlifters in there if you’re lucky but I’m sorry, the Gorilla will fucking kill you.

A gorilla will make very quick work of 5 men. If it’s direct combat, 10 is also way too small of a number.
