If it can kill you backhanded it's not exhausted enough. I don't think you're thinking savagely enough.

    What would you even do, to make it exhausted? In the wild, gorillas are not afraid of people. They just sit there looking at you, until you get on their nerves. There's nothing you or a hundred people could do to tire it out, if it simply chooses not to move.

    I'm a father, with plenty of experience around small children. What's exhausting, is the effort you put into not losing your patience when they're being annoying. If I didn't give a shit what happened to them, I wouldn't have lost a minute's worth of sleep.

    Like I said, if I wasn't concerned about hurting them...then there wouldn't be 100 of them for very long. It wouldn't take a lot of effort to mow through them, as soon as they got within reach. It's not like they pose much threat to a full-grown adult. The worst that you'd get are some scratches.

    It would be no different for a gorilla against people. We don't stand a chance. We're just physically incapable of doing much damage, without weapons.
