In theory, if you or somebody you care about are being held at gunpoint, you have to do what the other guy tells you.
In practice, a lot of different things can happen.

!!Tropes:

* BaitAndSwitchGunshot: The scene makes it look for a few seconds like the character with the gun followed through with their threat to kill the unarmed character, only it turns out that another character shot them dead.
* BlastingItOutOfTheirHands: Another character shoots the gun out of the gunman's hand.
* BrandishmentBluff: It's not a real gun.
** StickEmUp: It's a stick, not a gun.
* ClickHello: A character introduces themselves to another with a DramaticGunCock.
* DefensiveFailure: The armed character is unable to shoot and the target simply takes their weapon from them.
* DisarmDisassembleDestroy: Victim takes the gun from the gunman and disables it.
* DistractAndDisarm: The victim (usually) distracts the gunman and disarms them.
* GunStruggle: The character held at gunpoint and the one with the gun start to battle for the gun.
** BulletHolesAndRevelations: The gun goes off in the struggle, but who was injured by it is left as a surprise reveal for a moment.
** ForcedFriendlyFire: The unarmed character not only succeeds to get control of the gun, but they also force the armed character to open fire on any friendlies of his that are standing nearby.
* GunpointBanter: Banter between characters holding each other at gunpoint.
* ItWorksBetterWithBullets: The victim thinks that, or tells the gunman that, the weapon is empty or that the gun doesn't work.
* FingerInABarrel: Sticking your finger in the barrel to make the gun misfire when it goes off. DoNotTryThisAtHome.
