Not sure if anyone asked this on here yet, but Who Would Win: 100 Real-Life Torn Players vs. One Gorilla?

But not just any gorilla.
We’re talking about a full-grown silverback, the apex of raw biological muscle. This beast:

  • Weighs up to 400 pounds of pure muscle

  • Can lift 10 times its body weight (estimated 1,800–2,400 pounds)

  • Has a bite force of 1,300 PSI — stronger than a lion

  • Can climb trees and punch through thick wood

  • Runs faster than Usain Bolt — up to 25 mph

  • Breaks human bones like twigs

  • Feels no fear, no mercy — just instinct and rage

Assuming "Torn" refers to the online crime RPG game Torn.com, these are everyday humans who play a text-based browser game. We're not talking Navy SEALs or MMA fighters — just regular folks with keyboards and maybe a protein shake or two on their desks.

vs.

One Full-Grown Silverback Gorilla

400 lbs of solid muscle

Can deadlift ~1,800–2,400 lbs

1,300 PSI bite force

Can run ~25 mph

Incredible agility, strength, and primal aggression

Scenario Considerations:
Setting: Open field or enclosed space? If the gorilla has room to move and charge, it’s a death blender.

Weapons: Are the players armed? Even basic weapons could change the game.

Coordination: Can the 100 humans act like a coordinated mob or are they just panicking in chaos?

Realistic Outcome:
If we're assuming:

No weapons

Average human physiques

Minimal coordination

Then... the gorilla wins — for a while. It would tear through dozens with horrifying ease. However, numbers eventually matter. Even an apex predator can’t fight off 100 bodies forever.

Eventually:

Some would die

Many would be hospitalized

But the gorilla would likely be overwhelmed, especially if humans can dogpile and immobilize it with sheer mass.

Verdict:
In the short term? Gorilla absolutely dominates.
In the long haul? 100 humans eventually win via attrition.
But at what cost? Probably 40+ casualties and permanent trauma for life.

If the humans have clothes, that's a much bigger advantage for humans. If the gorilla has clothes tho, there is no stopping it!
