Barbara sees the gun and freezes up. By the time she snaps out of it and moves to disarm him, Jason’s no longer in front of her, so she’s moving towards Steph. Steph isn’t armed, so Barbara’s attempt to “disarm” her is just grabbing her wrists.

Steph panics and being restrained and tries to free herself, but Barbara has an iron grip and she just ends up elbowing Damian in the face.
