12 Untrained Strongmen vs a Silverback Gorilla. Which side wins?

[KoreanZawmbie]

A 200 pound male chimpanzee would fuck those 12 guys over...

Do you have any idea what a fucking gorilla would do?

Zookeeper Gabe said he saw a baby gorilla ripping tires in half...YEA FUCKING GG.

I think the problem is that you're pitting twelve untrained men against a gorilla who, being a silverback, probably has more than enough experience in violent altercations. That the strongmen are good in lifting and pulling things does not mean that they're good fighters. Just look at Pudz's earlier MMA fights.

Lol. What difference does it make if they are trained or not? Are they going to get the ape in a triangle? Punish him with leg kicks? You mma nerds are funny.

I'm surprised no one has suggested using the bones/limbs of the dead comrades to attack the gorilla yet lol

That suggestion was mentioned pretty early on the forum where I originally saw this topic.

FYI, I obv think the gorilla wins but I wanted to see the responses on this forum since there was a good amount of support for the strongmen in the other forum.

I don't think that would be very effective. It's not like the gorilla is going to rip off the limb and suck all the flesh off of it.

Assuming they are motivated enough (say these strong men's families are all held hostage by the mob and will be shot unless they win), their best bet is to probably dogpile the thing and start going after vital organs and have someone shove their arm down his throat.

I remember hearing/reading a story of a man who saved a group of people from a bear. He killed the bear by shoving his arm down its throat and choking it to death. I'm not sure if it's true, though.

EDIT:

 

[markulous]

Not sure if that's true but it's definitely possible. You have enough guys on top of him and he has nowhere to go (that's 3000+ lbs). It wouldn't be able to bite down being choked but even if it was, the arm would just stay in its throat and kill it.

Please keep in mind animals do not fight like humans... they don't pace themselves like an MMA fighter in the ring.

They thrash around wildly and ferociously. It's the same way an angry cat thrashes about crazily and you'd have no idea what's going on... and about 30 seconds later you'd notice it sliced your friggin' leg in 10 different places.

Surprised to see this thread still her tbh.

But anyway, let's be serious for a moment... what possible way could a man (or group of men) kill a gorilla without using a weapon?

I think strangling, and strikes to the head are outside of the realm of possibility.

Choking it by sticking your arm down the thing's throat could work, I guess. Is ripping out it's jugular with your teeth (as allegedly happened to the grizzly in the story posted above) even possible?

Do apes have carotid arteries in the same place as humans? What about a femoral artery?

Maybe all 12 guys could some how get a hold of it and pick it up and slam it on it's head? (doubtful)

 

[toaa]

A silverback would tear through these guys like paper. There's no real way for them to hurt the gorilla without any weapons. With no weapons, it's pretty lopsided and the gorilla simply destroys them.

Humans with prep time and Greg Jackson in their corner ... might win ...

Think of the impact force of a gorilla falling out of a tree. What about the forces of another gorilla charging it and striking/head butting and shoulder charging it? These are the forces a gorilla must be able to sustain and part of why they are so badass, evolution has made them that way in an arms race to be the biggest and baddest ape. Only the strongest gorillas are able to mate and thus pass on their superior (to unarmed combat) genes.

Humans have used tools for millennia, we're not supposed to try and fight large animals like silverbacks unarmed (and we're basically simply not capable). Those strong men are meant to, at the very least, be holding spears (modern humans inherited the spear from our archaic ancestors, maybe even millennia ago. Modern humans being around 200,000 years old in comparison).

If the Gorilla did fight like a human then they'd really have no chance. He'd just pick them apart one by one.

Strength of a gorilla and the brains of a human. Incredible combination. He'd be heavyweight champion in no time. No training needed.

In a cage the Gorilla.

You would be better off to have 12 marathon runners. I watched a show on this a while ago. Humans are actually very good long distance runners compared to a lot of the animal kingdom.

When hunting they would just literally run an animal down constantly until it was too exhausted. Sure animals would get ahead of them, but eventually the humans would catch up, and keep the animal on the run until it was too exhausted.

Yes. Gorillas fall out of trees and beat each other silly all day, every day and it doesn't affect them at all. Yup.

Has it ever occured to you that gorillas can easily hurt each other very badly indeed, when they actually try? Or that even the minor altercations between gorillas we see on Youtube cause more damage to those involved than we realize? That an animal doesn't act hurt doesn't mean it isn't. First law of the jungle: Never show weakness.

If you maintain gorillas are nigh impervious to damage, provide sources. Show us a video clip of a silverback being hit by a car and shrugging it off, or being involved in a serious fight with another gorilla without taking a scratch, or anything that would indicate actual physical combat is not something that every gorilla try to avoid for the simple reason that it is very dangerous to them.

Has it ever occurred to you that gorillas have been recorded pulling 800+ lbs one handed without real effort? That animal would rip all their arms out of socket each time it grabbed for them. Between that and it's 2 inch fangs, 12 grown men wouldn't do shit to that animal. Hitting it in the face would only irritate it.

Jungle sparring by day, Laying on the grass by night, all day

 

[Real_Magi]

Wouldn't happen. The silverback wouldn't attempt to fight a pack of humans and the humans aren't dumb enough to sacrifice others in a blind rage to kill an animal that may end up killing them all.

Are you actually responding to my post, or did you just quote me because you like having me on top of you?
Because I don't see how your response has anything to do with what I wrote.

 

[Chaos Spawn]

is this even debatable? really? it's a FUCKIN GORILLA!

im thinking it looks a little something like this:

also, for anyone wanting a few great lulz, check the original thread that inspired the OP. it is full of gems. i think it is some kind of poker forum of all things. im surprised ts didn't provide a link, but pretty easy to google.
