    I honestly want to know what the game plan is for the 100 men. Like do you plan on knocking out the 400 pound animal with a spin kick to the head or what?

      You’d probably have to send in a few waves of dudes who just grab the gorilla and hold on for dear life. If you get enough holding it down the remainder could pound on its head until it stops moving. The question is how many would be willing to try and bear hug an angry gorilla.

        I think this is the major issue to overcome for the humans. In training soldiers, we’ve known for several thousand years that everyone stands a higher chance of surviving if we commit as a group, even though that means each person is working against their individual survival instincts. We also know that it takes training to help people overcome that fear and actually throw themselves at the danger, in order to increase everyone’s chances of survival.

        If the humans are capable of committing to a massed pile-on, the gorilla doesn’t stand a chance. On the other hand, if the humans falter, the gorilla will have time to tear them apart. The last option is that the humans taunt and avoid the gorilla as best they can, and pile on it whenever it gets someone, forcing it to run around exhausting itself before they can kill it.

    Men but it would be bloody, i’d say 70 - 80 dead but they’d win eventually. You gotta think that gorilla would tire eventually and theres 100 people

      Betting that a gorilla will get exhausted of ripping and biting off heads before it reaches 100…

      It’s unclear how strong a regular gorilla is because you can’t make it commit like a weightlifter does, but it’s up to ten times a regular human. Women are about half as strong as men, imagine being five times even weaker. For a gorilla it would be like fighting 100 toddlers.

      They can break banana trees barehanded, and their bites are even more powerful than ours, and they have fangs.

      One guy will have his arm pulled off and the rest will run away. We all know what type of men these guys are.

      We often forget how obscenely well conditioned fit humans are compared to other animals. We’re built like a slow-ass terminator of the animal kingdom that just keeps going and refuses to die.

      Other animals regularly die from stuff like shock or broken bones. Even without modern medicine, humans are built to survive and recover from absolutely horrific injuries.

      Other animals often quickly tire out due to overheating and having trouble regulating their breath, while well conditioned humans can keep going at a medium-low pace for days on end if needed. Without sleep.

      I imagine the gorilla would wipe out a sizeable portion of the men, but I would bet money that it would be exhausted to the point of being helpless while there were still more than enough guys left to kill it.

    Probably depends on the men. 100 Chuck Norris clones, no chance for the gorilla. 100 Ted Cruz clones, Gorilla will wipe the table with them.

    i think it is 100 men and it is not going to be close. purely using humn as fodder, we can have 10-20 men kamikaze style holding/pinning down gorrila, and then ask the rest to take turn and basically throw themselves at gorrila, untill gorilla gets unconscious, and then all have to hit the vitals of gorilla.

    100 men very likely. But I dislike this question very much, sice it’s to vague and therefore causes people to not argue about the result of the scenario, but on the result of many differing scenarios.

      100 men can’t attack a gorilla at the same time. 5 men attacked a doped up orang utan once and the result was, well, exactly what the men deserved. Do you think the guys who are left over won’t run when they see someone being torn limb from limb?

    100 men - flanking and relentless attacks to the back. Volleys of running, charging, and jumping kicks. Deliver your strike and GTFO of the way for the next group to attack.

    Don’t attack from the front. Don’t try to grapple. Don’t punch; not enough power and too exposed.

    I would win because I would run away as fast as I can, and never look back. Surely a few of the others are going to slow down the enemy.

    The gorilla has the strength, but not the stamina. The first 20 men would probably die or be seriously injured, but over time, the constant waves of attacks would wear it down. It would get immobilized by people clinging to its limbs, blinded from repeated eye pokes, and eventually overwhelmed and strangled under the sheer weight of bodies piling onto it.
