A gorilla to a human is nowhere near the same difference. A large gorilla is ~500 lbs. There are healthy humans almost that heavy. Even if you average it down to 200lb able bodied men, the gorilla won’t have the capacity to kill that many passive men before it’s a panting heap on the floor.
Could you kill 100 passive large mandrills before tiring out? Could you kill 100 not passive mandrills before dying? That’s the situation the gorilla is in.
… I’m starting to understand why the Roman Colosseum did all those animal matchups… I wonder if people have kept records of the victors over the centuries.
People seem to have this vision of gorillas as raging murder beasts, but nothing could be further from the truth. Frankly, I don’t think a gorilla definitively wins even 10 on 1. 100 on 1, the poor gorilla doesn’t stand a chance.

You’re arguing with me about something I don’t believe in.
100 unarmed men body a gorilla.
I’m saying I think a gorilla could kill a higher number of unarmed humans than a mammoth could kill of armed humans.
Hmmm, now that’s a whole different ball game.
