It took us about 6 weeks to get to this point.  We started by luring him to lay on his side from a "down".  Then we named it "bang".  Once he had the word association we added in the hand signal, our fake gun.  For several weeks he would only do it if we started by putting him in a down first but eventually he got to where he would do it from standing. Now we are working on keeping him down longer.

He's doing great!  I love the smile on his face and how he looks up as if to say, "Am I dead yet?"  :)
