The hypothetical fight between 100 men and 1 gorilla has been widely debated, with expert opinions highlighting several key points:

• Gorillas, especially silverbacks, are incredibly strong—estimated to be 4 to 10 times stronger than humans pound for pound, with powerful muscles and canines designed for defense and male competition rather than prolonged combat

• Despite their strength, gorillas are generally peaceful and tend to avoid unnecessary fights, often choosing to flee when outnumbered

• The numerical advantage of 100 men, if they coordinate and cooperate effectively, would likely overwhelm the gorilla over time. Humans' ability to strategize, communicate, and attack in waves could wear the gorilla down, as it is not built for endurance fighting

• Some experts argue that if the men cannot attack simultaneously and must confront the gorilla one at a time, the gorilla could inflict serious damage and potentially win

. However, if the men attack together, they could restrain and subdue the gorilla by leveraging their combined strength

• Practical considerations include the men’s physical condition, combat skills, and environment, but generally, the consensus is that the gorilla would not stand a chance against 100 determined men, though some casualties among the men would be expected

In summary, while a silverback gorilla is a formidable opponent with immense strength, the overwhelming numbers and cooperative abilities of 100 men would most likely lead to the men winning the fight, assuming effective coordination and no weapons involved. The gorilla’s best option in reality would be to avoid such a conflict altogether
