Whenever I’m asked stupid questions involving fights or struggles against Nature, it’s always on the scale of “What chance does a man have against a Great White shark?”
…to which my reply is generally along the lines of: “Pretty good, provided that the man is sitting in a sturdy boat with a few hand grenades.”
So it is with today’s stupid question: “How many men would it take to win a fight against a gorilla?”
Answer: “One, holding a 12ga. shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot.”
Let’s just remember that when it comes to this kind of thing, Man is unquestionably at the top of the food chain. And the reason this is so is that we don’t fight with our relatively-weak bare hands or with our pathetic little teeth; we fight with our brains, and those brains are what enabled us to create, build and use things like hand grenades and shotguns.
Give that shotgun to a gorilla, and he’d only swing it like a club — if that.
Just as we are like candy to a lion with its teeth and claws, they are like candy to us with our A-10 Warthog.
Bite on that, Fluffy.
Hell, let’s take that one step further. If there was to be combat between a lion and a woman…
…and she didn’t even need an A-10.
Kim, I think you might have forgotten that a firearm giving to a monkey didn’t turn out so well

sorry for the typos. I’ll start drinking more coffee before typing. Maybe
Combining the subjects of young women in bathing suits and A10s, there are a number of younger women on my masters swim team. Some are quite shapely. There is one that I only look in the eyes, however. Her husband, you see, is an A10 pilot.
Humans have successfully hunted every animal that has existed at the same time we have, including whales. For most of our history we did so with pointed sticks. Yeah, we’re the top of the food chain not because of strength but because of brains.

Personally, I’d rather have a 12 gauge stoked with 3″ Magnum slugs if I was going up against a gorilla, but that’s just me.
Potato potahto.
…and she didn’t even need an A-10:
SHE IS the A10!
I was briefly watching one of those silly Twilight movies (the one where the redheaded vampire puts together an army of vampires to kill some other vampires) the other night and I pointed out to my daughter that those sparkly vampires might have been terrifying in the Middle Ages but modern weaponry would make short work of them.
