A gorilla's punch is extremely powerful, delivering between 1,300 to 2,700 pounds of force. This force is strong enough to shatter a human skull with a single hit
. To put this in perspective, the average human punch delivers only about 360 to 450 pounds of force, making a gorilla's punch several times stronger
. Gorillas have dense muscle tissue that grants them 5 to 8 times greater strength than humans of comparable size, and a fully grown silverback gorilla can bench press around 4,000 pounds
. Their punches could plausibly exceed over one ton of dynamic force, far surpassing even the strongest human boxers, though lacking the refined technique of trained fighters
. In summary, a gorilla punch is incredibly hard and powerful, capable of causing serious injury or death due to the immense force behind it, estimated at roughly 1,300 to 2,700 pounds of force per punch.
