In a hypothetical fight between 100 men and 1 gorilla, experts generally agree that while a gorilla is immensely stronger than any single human, the sheer number of men would likely give them the advantage overall.

Strength Comparison

• A fully grown silverback gorilla weighs between 300 to 485 pounds (136 to 220 kg) and is estimated to be 4 to 10 times stronger than an average human, especially in upper body strength

• Gorillas can exert over 1,800 pounds (816 kg) of pulling force with their upper body alone, far exceeding the strength of even well-trained humans

• They have powerful jaws with a bite force around 1,300 PSI, nearly double that of a human, and can inflict serious blunt trauma and fractures with their grip and strikes

Fight Dynamics

• Despite the gorilla's raw power, experts note that gorillas are generally peaceful and would likely avoid a prolonged fight, especially against overwhelming numbers

• Humans have the advantage of numbers, coordination, and stamina. They could potentially surround the gorilla, attacking in waves to wear it down, as gorillas are not endurance athletes and can become fatigued

• Primatologists suggest that if the 100 men can cooperate effectively, they could "envelop" the gorilla and subdue it, though some men would likely be injured or killed in the process

• If the men are forced to attack one at a time, the gorilla's strength would make it nearly impossible for any individual human to win

Conclusion

• One gorilla is vastly stronger than a single man and could easily overpower a few humans at once.
• However, 100 men working together, using their numbers, coordination, and endurance, would likely prevail in a fight against one gorilla, albeit with some casualties

Thus, the outcome depends heavily on tactics and coordination. Raw strength favors the gorilla, but numerical advantage and teamwork favor the men.
