1 gorilla vs 100 men

Does the gorilla have nunchucks? That may change my answer.

What if the men have bow hunting skills?

Or are pretty good with a bo staff.

I think 100 men win. Unless the gorilla starts throwing poop.

 

[cyups2323]

100 wrestlers from the Iowa State, UNI, and Iowa rooms combined could easily beat the gorilla

This is ironic because I've always thought if we are ever gonna find the missing link it will be at a wrestling meet in carver.

I am also voting for the 100 men because

1- The fatigue factor that has already been mentioned by others. The cardiovascular system of mammals has its limits. Ever watch a wrestling match? Those guys are exhausted after the first 3 minutes. Hockey players can only go full speed for about 45 seconds, and ditto for humans after running 400 meters in 50 seconds.

A 600 lb gorilla is going to fatigue at an alarming rate. Think super heavyweight wrestlers.

2- The brainpower of the humans should not be over stated. They may not be armed at the start, but they would think of ways to weaponize anything that is nearby: rocks, logs, fire, sticks, cans of Natural Light, you name it. Hell, the men could collaborate to fatigue the gorilla with a group rope-a-dope strategy.

100 human brains against 1 gorilla brain is a huge advantage.

3- The gorilla is still a wild animal, and wild animals are ingrained with acute survival instincts. Threatened by a single man, the gorilla might tear him limb from limb. Threatened by 100, and I think the gorilla's instinct will be to flee. He won't see the need to stand his ground against superior odds. His life doesn't depend on him staying and putting up a fight.

It doesn't matter whether we think the gorilla can win. The question is whether the gorilla thinks he can win. Against 100 odd looking, hairless knuckle floaters, he might not like his own chances.

This is the answer. Can’t underestimate the human brain. Man is exceptionally intelligent and lethal.

Counter point. Have you been to Walmart?

 

[cyphoon]

Counter point. Have you been to Walmart?

Counter counter point: yes I have. And if the gorilla places himself between 100 humans and good black friday deal on budget brand TV, then he is doomed.

That man is a national treasure.

 

[CtownCyclone]

That’s an unstoppable force there my friend.

That settles it. The 46 defense of the 85 Bearsss takes the gorilla down easily. Probably doesn't even give up more than 15 yards and scores a few safeties.

Assuming you could, as others have mentioned, get the first in to commit (and die) eventually the men overwhelm the poor Gorilla.

While your first paragraph is accurate, all of those things require energy. A big guy can probably bench 300 lbs, but he can’t do it multiple times over.

A gorilla would have to do those things you listed 100x over roughly. Could it rip someone’s limbs off, certainly, could it do it 100 times. All while evading people scratching at his eyes, clutching at its legs, pulling its hair, going for its throat, etc. Probably not.

Is it a male gorilla? kick it in the nads.

 

[cytor]

@CoachHines3 's mom can handle 100 men....

Can confirm.

 

[cytor]

The man with a .45 will win.

If it's 100 politicians against a gorilla, the politicians win. After 30 minutes of listening to the politicans BS, the gorilla would kill himself.

Or the gorilla finds a machine gun and kills all the politicians.
