X (fka Twitter) has quietly redesigned its 🔫 Water Pistol emoji to display as a firearm. This diverges from the cross-platform conversion of this emoji from firearm to water pistol from 2016 to 2018.

the X engineer responsible for the change ... stated that this design is "not the final design (going to make it look more badass)"

incidentally this engineer is a fascist weeb who complains about gay characters in TV shows and bragged about getting trans flags removed from a grocery store by leaving a negative google review

          I think it's solid. Gets the point across without taking itself too seriously.
