How many do you think they could take on in a single wave?

The rules being either one has to die and the kid has agroed the chimpanzees. The child is in their house and has the same resources and prep time.


Bonus: here is the Wikipedia page about the Gombe Chimpanzee War.

Probably Kevin McCallister, since he's the only kid that showed any aptitude for fending off intruders in those movies. Close second would be Buzz's girlfriend though.

The kid had friggin gun. Airsoft, but still, he proved to be a great shot and its not hard for him to get his hands on a real gun

I mean the kid in the sixth movie lit someone on fire and hit someone in the head with a pool ball. I feel like there's some competition.

Based on the way chimpanzees fight, and given their overwhelming strength advantage, any of the McCallister kids would simply be mauled to death.

During attacks, chimps will target a person's face, hands, feet and genitals. The Jane Goodall Institute UK noted that pet chimpanzees are destructive and too dangerous to be kept as part of the family, and that it is difficult to keep them stimulated and satisfied in a human environment.Apr 7, 2021
