  That was actually Microsoft’s original design, but they changed it to a realistic gun almost a week ago: https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/04/microsoft-new-real-gun-emoji/ https://www.engadget.com/2016/08/04/microsoft-new-real-gun-e... Also, I would not call one single vendor “in great company”; before Apple, Microsoft was the only vendor showing anything else than a normal modern handgun (except Android, which in 4.4 had what seems to be an old blunderbuss pistol: http://emojipedia.org/google/android-4.4/pistol/ http://emojipedia.org/google/android-4.4/pistol/ but Android changed it back to a revolver in Android 5.0).
