I was curious as to the number of gun barrel sequences that were filmed, but never used.
The first ones I recall are Timothy Dalton's unused sequence from The Living Daylights, where he jumped like the sequence done by Connery's stunt man Bob Simmons in the first three Bond films and Pierce Brosnan's gun barrel shot exclusively for the Tomorrow Never Dies tráiler.
I can just imagine a series of gun barrel outtakes:
Tripping feet.
Guns flying from hands.
Trousers falling down.
This video must exist somewhere.
This one gets better as it goes on.

shareThe book "Bond on Set: Filming Quantum of Solace" has images of Craig shooting a gun barrel sequence in a dinner jacket before he eventually re-shooted it in the business suit, the latter would be the sequence used at the end of QOS.

Daniel Craig has one for Casino Royale, I believe. It was a traditional gunbarrel, but they opted for a gunbarrel that tied to the storyline to give it its own sort of origin story.
sharePierce Brosnan stated in the Die Another Day commentary that he wanted to shoot a different gun barrel sequence for that film, but they never got to it, so they finally reused Brosnan's gun barrel from his three previous films with the CGI bullet added.
shareEven further, I think they reused the CGI bullet from the GOLDENEYE title sequence.
