App Brings Iconic James Bond 'Gun Barrel' to Your iPhone

Friday February 22, 2013 12:39 PM PST by Jordan Golson

To promote the release of the latest James Bond film Skyfall on DVD, Fox has released a free app that lets users film themselves in the sights of a gun barrel, like in the iconic Bond opening title sequence.

The app itself is very simple, asking users to use the iPhone's camera to record their target, then letting them share it with friends.

Skyfall Gun Barrel is a free download on the App Store. [Direct Link]

I would have loved this when I was younger. The amount of time myself and friends spent staring at each other down spent toilet roll tubes was ridiculous.
