I think what makes animal attacks so bad is the difference in the mental state after being shot. A chimp can be killed with any caliber that’ll effectively kill a human, but unfortunately an animal doesn’t react the same as most humans would when mortally wounded. While there are exceptions, many people will stop an attack after being shot. An animal is likely to fight to its last breath.
I've made this point many times in the past. Also I've held a very young chimp one time, maybe 55-65 pounds. It was AT LEAST as strong as I am. A full grown chimp is phenomenally strong compared to a human.

Tactics for dealing with one? Well, anything would be better than trying to take it on bare handed that's for sure.
