Defense against a gunman intimidating you with a pistol at your stomach

• Twist outside, off of the line-of-fire; same-side grab the opponent’s wrist, and opposite-side grab the gun barrel.
  • Guns are essentially thrusting weapons; they can only attack what is directly in front of them.
• Point the muzzle up and towards the opponent, using the gun barrel for leverage, to pushing the out of the opponent’s hand.

Notes

This “gun stripping” technique appears in several waza.
