Are the men absolutely fearless In this scenario?
Running full steam at a Silverback gorilla is counter intuitive. Hesitation is going to play a huge factor.
Conversely, the gorilla isn't going to hesitate and in fact is going actively be aggressive.

No. They wouldn't.
How would they even inflict any damage? Y'all are talking about gouging eyes out and stuff...how exactly would any person accomplish that? They would have their face and arms ripped off just trying.
The ONLY hope would be the gorilla eventually tiring out. I don't think 100 men is enough to cause that.

men would be too overwhelming for the gorilla. Yes the gorilla is bigger and stronger. There would obviously be casualties for the humans. But, if each human bought in for a true life or death scenario, the humans would win.
People are vastly undervaluing how much 100 humans can bring to the table with strategy, combined strength and overall relentlessness towards the gorilla.
What exactly is an unarmed man going to do to actually harm a silver back gorilla?
You ever see a gorilla fight? That gorilla would tear everyone apart like it's nothing.
Do you think a 100 men could take down an 800lb grizzly?

assuming this is purely a physical fight....
there are only so many people that can attack the gorilla at one time. Lets say its 5 to 10. Theres only so much room to squeeze people in. The gorilla would absolutely mangle a couple of them and then probably defeat the rest pretty easy. Could we agree on that?
The next batch of men are now more scared than the first batch but they run over the limbless corpses of the first batch. The only difference is that maybe a couple guys got some licks on the gorilla and hes a little tired. But the end result is the same.
This just happens 8 more times. Maybe by the 5th group the gorilla is tired but I dont know, they are pure muscle.

Why do we have to play the gorilla’s game?
We are the world’s best endurance hunters. We tired out the gorilla until it has a heart attack. Or until it collapses and we trade off men delivering blow after blow until it dies.

If it was true life or death then yes. The men could kill the gorilla. You would have to immediately take out his eyes then get real fricking savage. Like biting off fingers and gruesome shite

100 all at once? Yes. There isn’t anything single animal that can handle that type of overwhelming onslaught.
Now 100, say 10 at a time it becomes a maybe. If it’s 10, then 10, then 10 until all 100 are used up the humans may still win. I’m wanting to be in the last or very least late sets of 10 because the early sets are going to get whipped. The gorilla is going to run out of gas though.

100 guys committed could do it. Strategy would be to encircle it and guys behind attack it trying to take out its eyes while guys in front distract it. Once you take out its eyes then it's a matter of harassing it and tiring it out. Like any biological engine the gorilla does not have unlimited energy and once it becomes tired it will lose its explosive strength then it's a matter of suffocating it. You would have micro strategies within this main strategy. Like if it has its mouth open shove your whole arm and fist down its throat. Couple of dead bodies laying around? If it's blinded use dead bodies as meat shells and chuck body parts at it. Let it continue to fight the already dead. Lots of people will die and get .aimed but 100 determined males could take it out.

Are we talking about a cross section of society? 100 men picked at random?
Or are you pitting the gorilla against 100 fit, trained men? The trained would probably win. They’d be organized and they’d win, but they’d suffer pretty terrible casualties.
The group of random dudes would lose. By the time you weed out all of the morbidly obese and the femboys, you’re down to maybe 50 or 60 as an effective fighting force. Some are too scared, some are too cocky, all of it is a disorganized mess, and no one is really ready to face the true ferocity of a male silverback gorilla attack. The gorilla is tired and might even have a wound or two, but walks away the victor.

So, could 7 unarmed men attacking at once kill an adult silverback gorilla? I don’t think so
7 dead men at a time out of 100 equals roughtly 14.2857 seconds for the gorilla to kill them all

Is this 100 men willing to give up their life to kill the gorilla? Or 100 men wanting to kill the gorilla to survive? Big difference I think.
100 men weighs almost 10 tons. All it takes is 100 to charge at once, get the gorilla down, and everyone jump on top of him. You will have a bunch of casualties but a gorilla does not have the strength to overcome 10 tons.
100 men that are trying to kill the gorilla to survive will have a worse outcome. No one is going to take the charge to be the first one to try to jump the gorilla.

I don’t disagree with you, 100 people is just a shite ton of people. A true life or death situation, it just seems like the gorilla couldn’t kill them all before its body would shut down, but who knows
I think many of these 100 men would be taken out with one blow each from the Gorilla. Certainly not killed, but effectively taken out of the fight due to the Gorilla's immense strength.
How many left would be in fighting shape would be tough to guess but I still don't think they have the means to kill the Gorilla unless it is down and unconscious.

No, that’s a completely different discussion. An 800lb grizzly would also destroy a gorilla. The bear is twice the size of the gorilla, has a thicker coat, and knives attached to their paws. So this is a stupid comparison.

Eh, I put the Gorilla vs. the Grizzly at 50/50.
Gorilla has arms that can land blows at a force the Grizzly is not capable of.
Grizzly's claws are formidable but even men have survived attacks.
I don't think that matchup is as clear cut as you think.

You’re looking at this wrong: Can 100 Gorillas kill a 1 Armed Man?

The humans win easily, 100 dudes is way too many. There would be a lot of casualties but if everyone was trying to gouge out the gorillas eyes and choke it out, I see no way for the gorilla to win.
Can't believe nobody mentioned eye gouging so far? Easily the surest path to victory. The gorilla wouldn't be able to stop the constant of dozens of hands going for his eyes.
20 vs 1 is a more interesting fight

This
If the men are completely fearless of death then you dogpile the gorilla and suffocate him.
If it's normal bros who want to go home later and play video games then 1,000 wouldn't be enough.
The psychological aspect is everything in this scenario.
