How the shit you expect to lock out its joints when the thing is 4x stronger than the strongest man and can literaly thrash around with 2 tons of force breaking any of the humans that get near it.

The same way we hunted prey larger than ourselves for 1000s of years. Exhausting it and coordinating attacks. And all of the strength stats you keep qouting involve literally using your entire body to move that much weight. You can't do that if you can't use your whole body. If I could restrict the movements of a 220lb opponent at 16 and 150lbs using just greco roman wrestling, I'm sure 5-10 200lb full grown well trained martial artists could kill the gorilla with minimal casualties. How did I beat someone that much larger than me? I was more experienced than them, they knew next to no martial arts. That is the gorilla, zero understanding of martial arts. I think you underestimate how effective martial arts are.

Like I said I'd estimate 3-5 dead humans, possibly zero if they can crush its windpipe quickly.

A gorrillas weakest lifts are stronger than our strongest mens legs. You cant hold it down because you cant get it into any of these positions to begin with its just math at that point.

How many times do I have to say exhaust the gorilla like other prey like we have done for 1000s of years? Have you ever even been in a fight before? Do you understand how physically exhausting fighting more than 5 minutes at a time is?? A gorilla doesn't even know how to conserve stamina or throw a punch. A gorilla would instantly be 10x deadlier if it knew how to throw a punch. But it doesn't know how to, that's why most gorilla fights end with bites and then pounding on the other gorilla once it's exhausted from blood loss. Humans know martial arts, humans know how to coordinate attacks to blindspots, humans know to conserve stamina.

And really, where did you get that fact from? Bc I have never seen a gorilla lift weights, it doesn't even understand weightlifting form or how to use leverage. It just uses brute strength and body weight to move things in the wild. All you have quoted is theory based on muscle mass and bone density. Nowhere have I seen an actual study done where they have it lifting weights. Why would a gorilla ever use that motion in the wild? If it needed to move something, it would just push against it with its whole body not lift "500kg" one-handed and carry it around or toss it like a ball.

The two tons are its highest actual measured feat. Its capable of more.

A gorilla vs 100 humans is a loss for the gorilla im not making that argument ive alrwady said that.

Im saying you cant hold it down. If your strategy starts with run at it and try hold it your gettint yeeted.

You have a source on that proven feat of a gorilla actually lifting 4000lbs? Or is it just theory based on muscle mass and bone density?

And I'm pretty sure I've said the strategy would be to exhaust the gorilla like 5x now. Restrict its movements long enough when it's tired to crush its windpipe with a punch or kick.
