I just witnessed about 15 Angola prisoners go after a bull . One was victorious in getting a poker chip off the bull’s forehead. 100 men could definitely take down the gorilla .

What exactly is an unarmed man going to do to actually harm a silver back gorilla?
Go for the eyes then the butthole. Pretty much a Saturday night for me

OP, thanks for specifying that the men are unarmed. In the thread two days ago, dumbass hestercarries couldn’t understand why the hypothetical makes no sense if the men have fricking weapons.

My money would definitely be on the gorilla.
100 unarmed men versus a silverback gorilla in a cage match would end up being 100 armless, legless and headless men and one tired arse gorilla.

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.
Even if they got the gorilla down, how does everyone (10 tons) jump on top of him? They'd have to be acrobats, standing on shoulders, several levels high.. And the gorilla would just knock down the one on the bottom, breaking bones in the process. And so on.
100 men can't all work together to bring it down. Others estimate maybe 7 at most before there's just no room.

Maybe a different strategy? Could the 100 men manage to let him starve, don't approach him at all? Wait him out? Gorillas eat plants, insects. The men could be fed steaks.

100 unarmed men against a gorilla would be like 100 unarmed toddlers against a strong grown man, because basically we are toddlers compared to a silverback.
It’s much stronger, faster, meaner and tougher than a man.

If you're gonna attack 3-4 at a time while everyone else hangs back and waits their turn like henchmen do in movies, then 1000 wouldn't be enough.

This is true, but the toddler's biggest disadvantage is lack of strategy.
If the toddlers were actually capable of a pre-fight strategy session their cumulative weight is their trump card.
If they bum rush you as a group, you're not going to be able to pick them up or kick them away fast enough. If they manage to topple you, you're not getting up, you're getting buried head to toe in an avalanche of weight you can't move.

No, 100 men would not realistically win a fight to the death against a silverback gorilla, assuming they are unarmed and fighting in a confined or natural environment.
Why are we stacking it in the gorilla’s favor and putting this in a cage?
In a natural environment, 100 men are going to kill a single gorilla 10 out of 10 times. This isn’t a battle where 100 men are going straight after the gorilla, unless you put 100 idiots up against this thing. This is brains versus braun, and brains are going to win. In nature, they already have.

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
LOL this got me good. Was not expecting this to be micro strategy #1. I select DeoreDX as my champion and will fist frick that gorillas esophagus at your command

If 99 of them distract the damn thing by taunting it, calling it ugly names and questioning its lineage while one of them goes and gets a gun....otherwise its 50/50 and pick 'em.....

For sure. Without 100% dedication the men would have no chance. But if each was fighting as though their children's lives depended on it the humans would win by tiring him, holding him down and choking and blinding him. The eyes are the only weak point that humans could really exploit. And exhaustion would eventually play its part. But there would be a few dead humans.

The problem isn't really numbers vs. numbers or power vs. power, it's an unarmed man's ability to even hurt or injure a gorilla.
Gorillas have very thick skin, squat muscular frames, strong bones, and an extra thick skull. Man has fists, knees, and kicks, none of which would do much of anything at all. You might overwhelm the gorilla with numbers, but only one or two men can get his arm around the neck at a time to choke the gorilla out (pretty much your only chance to do any damage) and that gorilla will be squirming, biting, and fighting like a banshee.
Long story short, even with 7 to 10 large males holding down the gorilla I still don't see one or two men being strong enough to choke him out without being thrashed and bitten to the point of running away.
So here's what's gonna happen. A couple of idiot men are going to charge in and attack the gorilla, assuming the rest of us are right behind them. Where they got that idea is anyone's guess but they are going to be disabused of the notion pretty quickly. They will no doubt be disappointed upon reaching the gorilla and realizing there are just a few of them while the rest of us look on in fascination. They are going to be disemboweled and dismembered which is going to be somewhat alarming to the rest of us and will remind us that we have pressing matters elsewhere at the moment and will have to revisit the defeating of the gorilla at some future date. At that point we begin to disburse from the area in somewhat confused fashion due to the gorilla's not being satisfied with the carnage it has caused thus far. Several of the slower number among us will experience the same fate as the idiots who charged in to begin with. The gorilla, being engaged in tearing the slow among us to shreds, will be unable to keep pace with our hasty retreat and eventually we will have enough distance between us and it where we can slow down and catch our breath. At that point we will begin discussing the weather, our wives and kids....anything but that fricking gorilla.....

I think it needs to be 10 men every 2 mins then after 30 release 20 at a time. The gorilla will not be at 100%. Then you start wearing him down. Then another ten every 2 mins and after the third time release the final 20.

Hells bells and cheese curls....if you pick 100 men at random and tell them they have to fight a gorilla there won't 7 of us who would do more than hang back and hope that the damned thing dies of natural causes. 7% of us ain't charging into a fight with a gorilla...I seriously doubt if any single man is dumb enough to be the first to die.
Whats our motivation? Simply to best a gorilla? And get ripped apart in the process? No thank you...it doesn't mean that much and the gorilla could care less. Saving our families? Hell, they better be able to run 'cause if a gorilla wants them there ain't alot we can do about it. Even if the gorilla has romance on its mind its going to happen with you alive or dead...the point is that its best to learn to get along with the damned thing until such time as you aren't unarmed and then shoot the big bastard graveyard dead....

The problem is the bigger fight is going be between 10 men and the motherfricker who is releasing them....that poor bastard is going to get killed in a hurry as they do everything in their power to close the door or gate leading to the gorilla. Even if the gatekeeper does manage to get 10 of us into the area with the gorilla in it we are going to be less than healthy after wresting with the gatekeeper over keeping the gate closed...aint nobody studying whupping no gorilla....
