🔫 Pistol

A gun emoji that displays right-to-left on all platforms. This appears as a toy squirt gun / water pistol instead of a realistic-looking weapon on a number of platforms including iOS, Samsung, WhatsApp and Twitter.

Microsoft previously displayed this as a toy ray gun in place of a weapon on Windows 10. Google began updating updating this emoji to display as a water pistol in April 2018.

Pistol was approved as part of Unicode 6.0 in 2010 and added to Emoji 1.0 in 2015.

🚩 Appearance differs greatly cross-platform. Use with caution.
