Microsoft Changed Its Ray Gun Emoji To A Real Gun

Before                                      After

It appears that Microsoft is doing the opposite of apple as after it changed its gun emoji to a water pistol in iOS 10, Microsoft replaced its toy pistol emoji with an a real looking gun. This was noticed as its Windows Anniversary Update became available on August 2. This was a part of a major emoji redesign that Microsoft detailed in a blog post. Before this, the company's representation for a gun looked more like a space ray gun, while the new image is a more realistic. What do you think of Microsoft doing this ? Seems inserting that each company is doing the opposite of the other. Usually one company copies the other.
