It's describing someone who is under intense or extreme pressure. Think, if a person is aiming a gun at you telling you to do something, you're "under control of the gun" and you are stressed. You are forced to do something.
I have a Darkest Hour teeshirt that says "One nation, under the gun." I love it ^.^

It means under pressure. If someone aimed a gun at you (under the gun) you would be pressured and quite nervous.

Under a time constraint or deadline. It has nothing to do with being watched.
The source of this is the image of having a gun to your head as impetus to complete a task.

"Under The Gun" (under a lot of pressure to get something done... ) You are under the gun when you are working under tremendous pressure.

i think it means the same as the brittish saying which is under the thumb,,,,you do not move unless another person tells you its ok ,you do as you are told by a partner and dont seem to think or do for urself what you wanna do.
