If only it worked with women. Assuming I had the stamina. Which I don't.
1 Gorilla vs. 100 humans. Who wins?
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
I also think any thoughts of a trained mma guy being able to break a gorillas arm or snap his neck is just not on. Look at the size and strength of a gorilla's neck. Maybe the trained MMA guys going at a chimp might be able to do so, assuming the chimp hasn't ripped the guy's face off in the interim.
Now that's got me thinking how a human could actually kill the gorilla without some sort of weapon. Most physical attacks that could kill a human wouldn't work on a gorilla.
The question is a hypothetical and requires artificial parameters for it to work.
In real life, a gorilla would run away from 100 men rather than try to fight them.
In real life, no group of men would risk death facing a gorilla for bragging rights.
So we must artificially make that case that this gorilla is unlike any other in the real world and is ready to fight 100 men, and secondly that there are 100 men determined to fight a gorilla even if it means certain death.
In this scenario, many of the 100 men would get killed or seriously injured but the sheer number of men would overpower the gassed out gorilla using strategy and coordinated effort.
Destroying soft tissue like the eyes would quickly render the gorilla helpless.

I know a lot of you have weighed in on this, but the answer is easy: The men would win. The Gorilla would destroy maybe the first 5-10 dudes it faced, but it is going to get gassed and wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight for the remaining 90 or so dudes. Now, the first few would die horrifically, and that could discourage some of the guys....
This does remind me of the question "how many kindergarteners could you take?" And, I think you have the same idea. As a grown man, I could probably destroy the first 10 or so, but more people can only fight for short periods of time before they are exhausted. So, despite their small size and lack of strength, they would overwhelm me probably early into the fight.

Bro, give yourself more credit. An average man would annihilate dozens of kindergardeners. The differential in power and size is just so stark. They're small children that don't even have fully developed motor skills.
A closer comparison would be be a very strong man trained in fighting versus 100 average women.
An average woman is stronger than 2.5% of men, while an average man is stronger than 97.5% of women.
So taking speed and training into account, a male fighter might successfully KO the first 10 women but fatigue is going to set in quickly and the rest would easily overtake him. If they all swarmed him simultaneously he might not even drop more than a couple.

I was thinking more about multiple strikes to the back of the head by many men repeatedly.
You would not be able to hold on to the gorilla from behind.
