History Main / SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou

* ''Film/TheGreatTrainRobbery'' (1903) ends with a bank robber pointing a pistol at the camera and firing. It's the {{Trope Maker|s}} and ''very'' likely the UrExample. Supposedly some people ducked or ran out of the theater, which is almost certainly nonsense, as even in 1903 moviegoers knew that real gunmen were three-dimensional and make sound.

* ''Film/TheGreatTrainRobbery1903'': this ancient silent film is the UrExample. When shown for the first time, patrons in the theater ducked to avoid the shot!

* ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'': Riza Hawkeye is about to shoot you (in the Ready Steady Go opening sequence).

See also SecondPersonAttack, PistolPose, StabTheSky. Often overlaps with FloatingHeadSyndrome. SwordPointing is a variation. Not to be confused with BondGunBarrel (which, nonetheless, often features this trope, sometimes literally). Posing for a photo like this in real life, if it's a real gun, and if a person is holding the camera, is a rather serious breach of UsefulNotes/GunSafety rules. So DontTryThisAtHome.

* [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]] with Amor, "announcer" of the films of the German "Erotic [[note]] read: pornographic [[/note]] Animation" series. He ''does'' shoot at you, often wisecracking jokes like "This arrow is for he who never [[ADateWithRosiePalms fapped]]". (FourthWall protects you, though.)

* ''LightNovel/AmagiBrilliantPark'': One of the advertisement posters for the Blu-Ray had Isuzu standing [[BathtubScene in a bathtub]] while clutching a ModestyTowel against her body in one hand and pointing [[CantBatheWithoutAWeapon her musket]] Steinberger at the viewer with the other.

** Looks more like he's aiming for the guy immediately to your ''left''.
