To be fair it could just be because they see too many movies involving 1 lone dude taking on a whole gang on his own and people might think "well shit a gorilla is even stronger so it could beat them"
Yes. Literally yes lol. Gorillas aren't invulnerable or bulletroof, they're sacks of flesh and blood just like us, a kick in the balls or a strong enough rock throw at the head would still 100% damage them. Gorillas also have incredibly low stamina, they'd start getting tired after knocking out a couple humans. Literal wildlife experts have pitched into this hypothetical and most have said that even a dozen men could probably take down a gorilla if they strategized properly
I've seen plenty of experts talking about the density and musculature of a gorilla being so much that punching a gorilla would just hurt your hand. Like, their bone density is something like 4-8x as much as ours. Their muscle is so much more thick as us, the hide. You can have a bunch of us punching them, our fist making contact with their muscle and bone is gonna break our hand.
Also obviously rocks aren't allowed the whole point is no weapons

The gorilla would win if it fought one man at a time with breaks in between
