As for Krav Maga, it's just a fucking joke. Seriously. Someone was once showing me their handgun disarming technique, which seemed to work okay when I held a fake gun right up to their head. However, when instead I used half a brain cell and took 3 steps back in to a Weaver stance, the Krav Maga artist was left starting at me with no viable solution.
