Do you believe that your weapon disarming skills are good?

If you were in an armed robbery situation (knife on your throat or gun to your head), would you have the confidence to try and disarm the perpetrator?

No. If I were in that situation, I'd give the guy whatever he wanted and hope that he didn't kill me.

You are not understanding it. You don't disarm anyone when the knife or gun is already at your head or throat. You disarm the attack BEFORE it reaches that point.

Your question is like asking what do you do if you are cornered in a deadend surrounded by 10 homicidal maniacs armed with machineguns. At that point, it is too late to do anything.

Only if you're confident and are well-practised (years' experience) in disarming from any position. Otherwise, I'd just give them what they want, best to avoid conflict where possible.

I know it is, i also know enough that its not worth the risk if im only being robbed.

No matter how good you are you are going to get cut and you are never faster then a bullet. Is what little you carry worth the risk

no,because even their reaction of him/her getting 'disarmed' could result in a reaction from the theif that would cause you bodily injuries.

No
