Is there ANY martial art that can counter a gun or knife pointed at you? Not really. Chances are, when a situation like this occurs, you're not going to get away unscathed no matter what if the person truly has an intent to hurt you.
As far as multiple opponents, there's no "effective style" to combat that situation besides being smart about it. The golden rule of fighting more than one person is always try to position them in a line so that they can't blindside you and have to fight you one at a time.
Teaching eye gouges, bites, etc? Combat sports teach you to achieve a dominant position where you can attack your opponent with superior ability while preventing him from doing the same thing. Why can't a wrestler secure a tight pin then start biting whatever he can see? Why can't a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu guy achieve a superior position or submission then start eye gouging? Why can't a Muay Thai practitioner fake an inside leg kick and go straight for the nuts instead?
In the streets, there are no rules, if you are forced to fight in a street fight and have no choice but to run, your best option is to grab a makeshift weapon somewhere near you and attack your opponent before he has a chance to retaliate. Aggression probably plays the biggest part in how most street fights are won.
