We often forget how obscenely well conditioned fit humans are compared to other animals. We’re built like a slow-ass terminator of the animal kingdom that just keeps going and refuses to die.
Other animals regularly die from stuff like shock or broken bones. Even without modern medicine, humans are built to survive and recover from absolutely horrific injuries.
Other animals often quickly tire out due to overheating and having trouble regulating their breath, while well conditioned humans can keep going at a medium-low pace for days on end if needed. Without sleep.
I imagine the gorilla would wipe out a sizeable portion of the men, but I would bet money that it would be exhausted to the point of being helpless while there were still more than enough guys left to kill it.
