Alright — here’s a full simulation of 100 unarmed men vs 1 silverback gorilla — stage by stage:
---
Setting the Stage
Open flat field, no weapons, no armor.
100 average-sized men (let’s say 5'10", 170 lbs), normal fitness, not trained soldiers.
1 adult male silverback gorilla (5'5", ~400–450 lbs, pure muscle).
---
Phase 1: Initial Encounter (First 10 seconds)
The gorilla charges immediately — no hesitation.
20–30 men in the front freeze or hesitate when they realize how fast and big it is.
Gorilla body slams into them, using sheer momentum.
It breaks bones easily — ribs, arms, legs — just by hitting them.
Within seconds, about 10–15 men are down — some trampled, some thrown aside.
---
Phase 2: First Blood (10–30 seconds)
The gorilla grabs and throws people.
Bites deep into shoulders, necks, faces — gorillas have canine teeth.
Blood everywhere; screams would cause mass panic.
Maybe 10 more men try to pile on, but they’re ripped off one by one.
By now, about 20–30 men are down, either dead, unconscious, or too injured to fight.
---
Phase 3: The Swarm Attempt (30–90 seconds)
Realizing they have no choice, the survivors try to dogpile.
30–40 men jump on the gorilla, grabbing arms, legs, back.
Gorilla thrashes violently — slamming guys into the ground.
It’s still wildly strong, but now slowed a little by body weight.
More injuries — broken hands, dislocated shoulders — as people try to hold on.
---
Phase 4: Gorilla Fatigue (90–180 seconds)
Gorillas aren’t built for long-term fights — they’re explosive, not marathon runners.
After about 2 minutes of full rage, its stamina would start dropping.
It's killed or severely injured about 40–50 men by now.
Bleeding a little (scratches, minor injuries from human fists), breathing hard.
---
Phase 5: Turning Point (~3 minutes onward)
50–60 remaining men, some fresh, start dogpiling smarter — using body weight to pin arms and legs.
A few men strangle or choke from behind, others sit on limbs to stop movement.
Gorilla fights less ferociously, but even half-dead it can kill a man with one good bite or slam.
---
Final Outcome (~5–7 minutes total)
Casualties:
~50–60 men critically injured or dead (broken necks, crushed skulls, internal bleeding, bites).
Another 20–30 men injured badly (broken limbs, concussions).
Gorilla:
Eventually pinned by sheer numbers and exhaustion.
If they keep squeezing and piling, it would asphyxiate or pass out from blood loss and lack of oxygen.
Victory: Humans win... but barely, and at massive cost.
---
Summary
Final score:
Gorilla would wreck dozens of men in under 2 minutes.
Only by mass sacrifice and smart swarming would humans win.
At least half would be dead or disabled.
