Microsoft follows suit, switches gun emoji to water pistol

Cross-platform consistency, and gun sense, has taken hold in the emoji universe.

Microsoft announced on Friday that it will be switching its gun emoji to a water pistol. The change came two days after Google rolled out an update that replaced its gun emoji with the colorful water pistol toy. Facebook also confirmed to Emojipedia on the day of the Google update that it was in the process of making the switch, too.

So now, with Microsoft's switch, all major platforms have abandoned gun emojis in favor of water pistols.
