To be honest, the best way to tackle knives and guns is to NOT grab the weapon. You will be surprised how attackers react when you go for a good technique and it will not be the same as a person in a dojo pointing a rubber gun at you.
The best way is to go straight for the attacker. Then you can deal with the weapon
If you need any convincing try and disarm an opponent who is holding a red felt pen. It's a wake up call when you are covered in red ink. It makes you realise that if it was a knife you would have been sliced up. In a gun situation it would be even worse.
There are some schools that are extremely good at gun disarmament but at the end of the day if you make a mistake in the technique, you are going to get shot. If you strike the attacker hard and fast, their first thought won't be to use the gun
