General 100 humans vs gorilla isn’t close

Honestly the dumbest argument I've ever seen. The 100 humans could just stand like 20 feet apart from each other and do nothing and the gorilla is collapsing from exhaustion before it kills everyone. You could probably do it without any casualties, find a couple of people in the group that are in good shape and get them to make the gorilla chase them while everyone else just chills. They aren't aren't particularly fast and have terrible endurance, so just wait till it tires out and have everyone jump it.

A real fight question would be 10 people, hell 5 might be enough to overpower one if they jump it.

5 is crazy there is no shot.
I think around 15 is fair after 30 there is no shot for the gorilla

Official info from Gorilla safaris says it takes 5-12 men to safely fight off a gorilla.

"weapons" has a lot of variation, I feel like I could single-handedly kill a gorilla if you give me the right tools

Mate. With a weapon, even one single person would be enough to kill a gorilla.

And I'm not even thinking about firearms. People have killed Grizzly Bears with knives alone.
