but I have read about incidents where perps attacked as a swarm to get the gun.
They did swarm to get the gun. Then they shot the guy with his own gun that they took for him. So, I concede, you were right, it does happen..... except for one minor detail....

Guevara began screaming, alerting from 10 to 15 family members and friends who live in the same building, police spokesman Lt. Chris Davis said. They rushed out, and one of the alleged robbers fired a shot at them, he said.
"The round passed through the clothing of an Alex Echeverria, but failed to strike his body," Davis said.
Guevara's family members then ran after the two, caught them and disarmed them during a struggle, Davis said.
"Both suspects were shot during the initial struggle, with the suspect's gun, and then the family severely beat, stabbed and cut both suspects," Davis said.
