The title's rather creepy, but if they're unarmed I don't see how they can do much damage.

Am I looked in a room with them or something?

8 if they all weight under 100 pounds. Adjust accordingly.

Altho, I'm holding no bars, going straight for the throats.

Given that I failed twice to kill get rid of my baby sister when I was 5 yo, I'd say it would take A LOT of five year olds to take me down.  :blush:

We have had this before, for one, it depends if they are coming at you single file or on all sides at the same time. Also, will they just cry when hit or will they be pissed off 5 year olds? Also depends on who is the target, if any weapons are involved, training, etc...


So, all at the the same time, pissed off 5 year olds, surprise me with no weapons? 5 - 7 if they have a few good lucky first hits.
8-10 if I'm ready for them.

I don't think any number could do it, since 5 year olds are not going to be willing to take any punishment.

Operative word being "a". It is unfortunately meaningless without the follow up question of "If yes, are they trained in their use?"

In that case, and also assuming that they don't take me by surprise and don't have any special training, at least 24.

It's a representation of the modern human male being increasingly forced to assume traditionally female roles & losing the fight against it.

Looks can be deceiving. Why is he in a fight to begin with? Those must be devil-babies, to be able to actually cause defensive physical violence to take place. Any moment one of them will bite through is throat and that's all she wrote.

It depends on what kind of place you're confronting them in.  Wide open space would obviously be much more problematic than a narrow hallway.  If they can surround you, then they'll wear you down pretty quickly, and you'll have a hard time landing a solid blow. 

Another advantage of the hallway is that after a while, you can pile up the bodies to form a barricade and slow the attackers to a trickle, which would also help counteract the inevitable fatigue.  No matter how easy it is to snap a five year old neck, it wears you out after the first couple of dozen.
