What tactical principles are discussed for weapon retention and disarming?

The video discusses the '5Ds+1' principle: Distance (closing it), Deflect (moving the muzzle), Dominate (controlling the weapon/arm), Distract (using pain/injury), Disarm, and Disable. This framework aids in retaining control of a firearm during a struggle.
