A gun-threat, on the other hand, is when an assailant uses a firearm in order to leverage you into giving in to their demands for either valuables, or your body (if they want to kidnap or rape you, or both).

It's this situation that Krav Maga will try to prepare you for... overwhelming and disarming a gun-man that's within range. It's better than a heel-hook.
