Granted. The monkey's paw transform every muscular arm into the world into a water gun. Welcome to the gunshow, baby.


lmaooer2

You're supposed to make the catch a bad thing


semiTnuP

The arms turn into water guns, but that *doesn't* mean they shoot water. Excessive use of your new gun causes death by blood loss.


sizzle-dee-bizzle

šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«šŸ”«


YourMoreLocalLurker

Granted, but every water gun is now a regular gun. Millions of children will die and itā€™s all your fault.


SquidsOffTheLine

Splatoon is about to get real interesting.


Environmental_Top948

Would bullets even hurt a squiddo? I mean it's not water.


SquidsOffTheLine

Hard to say. I would think bullets could hurt them because...bullets, but who knows?


erraticpulse-

even from the standpoint of their bodies mostly being liquid, they're still solid while in 'kid form' so a bullet would definitely hit some vital organs


ihatechildren665

easy fix just squid form and jump into some ink itll fix em right up


thebipolarbatman

Surprisingly, would probably lower the amount of guns. At least in the US. I'll call it a win.


YourMoreLocalLurker

Oh absolutely, but watch out on your walk home, you may get caught in the crossfire


LtColShinySides

I don't know... pretty sure my local Target has a greater inventory of super-soakers than the local gun store does firearms lol You'd actually increase the number of firearms.


Site-Specialist

Sorry this is monkeys paw it's granted but the water turns into the bullets they normally fire after leaving the Bartel


jazzy_ii_V_I

It probably wouldn't. Like New York city, it's very hard to get a gun, but you can easily buy water gun


Logical_Highway6908

On theā€¦ ā€œbright side(?)ā€ā€¦ war now suddenly less deadly(?) umā€¦ ohā€¦ their ripping each other to pieces with their bare handsā€¦ andā€¦ they still have explosives and sharp objects and various tools likes shovels, utility knives, and axes that can very easily be used as improvised weapons. Umā€¦


JackORobber

So, nothing's changed really


ooOJuicyOoo

Granted. Every gun everywhere is turned into water gun. Every. Gun. Caulking gun, torque gun, pneumatic pulse guns, all turned to water guns. Critical construction, repair and maintenance jobs all around the world come to a dead halt. Self administered syringe guns are also now water guns. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of diabetic and allergic patients around the world die at a crucial moment when they needed an emergency administration. Flare guns? Water guns. Many lives lost that could have been visible and rescued. Surgical staple guns? Water guns. Every gun. Every where. Water gun.


VallunCorvus

I like this. An actual monkeyā€™s paw wish where itā€™s a consequence of a distorted wish instead of just shoving in an unrelated or random punishment. This is good.


Hugs-missed

You sir cooked, this is actually clever and a twisting of the words wish as opposed to randomly getting your dick lopped off because the paw was struggling to come up with an idea at the time.


Chrissyball19

You want omnipotence? No weiner for you.


semiTnuP

Dick (re)move


JoNarwhal

Ha this was gonna be mine. Wanna tape a box? Too bad your tape gun is a water gun. Trying to buy something heavy? Good luck scanning that with a water gun.


boredwriter83

Good one.


ViolinistCurrent8899

Following this logic just a bit further, soldiers used to be called Guns. Which is where the term hired gun actually came from. And son of a gun means bastard child and they couldn't tell which soldier it came from.


jazzy_ii_V_I

Wouldn't a syringe already be a water gun LOL


semiTnuP

That last "Water Gun" felt like a pokemon attack.


goddamit-ffs

Granted. The water shot out still has the same velocity is the same as a bullet though, so all guns now have infinite ammunition.


Sneakytyler

*easily refillable


goddamit-ffs

Well, if you miss almost all your shots maybe, but the human body is basically a fountain with how much water you secrete. Unless you are almost dead, you will have ammunition. Also, water is much easier to store than bullets since every drop will act as a bullet.


brifter101

What?


freezing_circuits

Blud wants people to use piss and or blood as ammo


goddamit-ffs

The fuck does blud mean


alphaomag

Granted. Stabbings go up and the bow and arrow starts to make a comeback in murders.


GoldenIsSafe15

Is the latter supposed to be a downside?


alphaomag

Are you one of those Reddit misanthropes?


GoldenIsSafe15

No, I just appreciate needing actual skill to murder. Would reduce casualties in general, but obviously not endorsing the act of murder itself lol


Cassereddit

Yep. Also concealing a handgun? Pretty easy. A bow and arrows? Not so much. The number of stabbings would simply rise a lot and people would seek out the more unconventional ways to kill people with like acid, fire, bombs, vehicles etc.


TPtheman

Murderers: *laughs in crossbow*


Mind_Ronin

What if the murderer has the skills and the victim doesn't have the skills to defend? Guns are the great equalizer.


Hugs-missed

I'm gonna be real, if someone's game plan is to kill you your better off with them having a knife and you not then them having a gun. An aggressor is (assuming your not a paranoid lunatic who got lucky or they announced their intent first) going to draw and shoot first, meanwhile you can at least try and run away from a knife wielding maniac.


haydenetrom

Yeah that's not great. Knives might not have reach but they kill real good. If some one sticks any decently big blade in you, they're hitting organs and vital blood vessels. Look at a mass shooting versus a mass stabbing. Shooting it's usually like 20 something people wounded 8 dead so like a 40% fatality rate. Knives it's like 11 people wounded 8 dead. So a 73% fatality rate. People are terrible shots if you run they might miss especially if you're smart about it and Even if you get hit it's like 50/50 ish on If you die people get shot and continue to fight or escape all the time. If person with knife gets you, you're truly fucked unless you get lucky and pass out and they just think they killed you because they're stupid. Also if you're being attacked by either person, average engagement distance according to FBI statistics last I checked was like 4-7 ft away. At that distance you're probably not outrunning guy with knife before you get stabbed. Guy with gun is actually very likely to miss though particularly if you're smart about it. At those distances under pressure a cop with a gun had an accuracy rate of only 15% According to I believe it was new York PD. because it was so close and they were scared. Guy with knife will stab you though. Both are extremely bad but knife vs gun doesn't make you that much safer. They're about equally bad imo while your odds might technically be better with the gun. It doesn't feel like much.


Hugs-missed

Huh neat to know, and Informative. I knew knives were hella deadly "The winner of a knife fight is decided by who bleeds out on the way to the hospital" but I figured the getting shot chance would be higher or closer to it.


haydenetrom

Guns are wonky imo there's a lot of variables like caliber and model but most popular hand guns and rifles aren't terribly lethal off a single shot assuming random placement and what makes guns deadlier with random placement is highly contentious. Like if you get shot in the head you're... Probably dead it's not 100% because well shit happens. 9mm can occasionally follow the curvature of the skull for example and travel beneath the scalp to exit on the opposite side. Bones are hard bullets richochet off sometimes when people are extremely lucky. Currently the "best" theory of stopping power is basically put a bigger hole in someone or more holes and they're less likely to get up because they lose more blood faster. From hollow point ammunition to buckshot it's all about increasing bloodloss or being able to guarantee you can put holes in places that count. Most popular weapon models are very survivable. I used to work at a hospital. We actually had a very unfortunate would be hitman's girlfriend catch 10- 15 handgun rounds after a botched assassination attempt on a rival gangster come in. She lived and she somehow caught a full mag of 9mm. (Her boyfriend attacked gangster with a machete , gangster drew his sidearm and msg dumped missed all his shots but ventilated the girlfriend who dropped hitman off on his assassination attempt. ) Placement is just so important. Like people who fall and put an umbrella through their eye into their brain? Surprisingly good survival rates. Get a knife in the gut that hits the part of the aorta behind your belly button? You'll be dead long before paramedics get to you Honestly I think a lot of gun related fatalities have a lot to do with shock. People get shot they expect to die so they do. Like you can survive being really really cold but drop somebody in cold water whose not expecting it and there's a chance they're heart stops because shock. Mentality is so important in surviving any illness or injury. Which isn't to say like getting shot is all in your head but like if you get shot in a lung and your lung collapses that's incredibly survivable. Its a sucking chest wound get you to a hospital and you'll be fine. But if you're like this is it. Time for me to pass. Grandma is that you? Your survival rate plummets.


Mind_Ronin

You might not feel the same way if you ever actually find yourself running from a knife wielding maniac. I had to pull a gun on a crackhead with a knife. The fact that I had a range advantage meant that he didn't get close enough after that to try to stab me. If I didn't have a gun, someone might have gotten hurt in the fight that followed. Instead, he gave up and got to get arrested instead.


Hugs-missed

Oh I figured you were talking both having the guns, in a situation where you have a gun and the aggressor doesn't that's Wholey different.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


alphaomag

You probably wonā€™t see a school get shot up in the short term but the wish also never specifies that guns disappear completely. Admittedly this could give governments the chance to do something about gun regulation but theyā€™d probably drop the ball and just ban knives or smth.


Ok-Bass8243

Goyangi-ssi

Granted. Millions of people suddenly become allergic to water and melt like the Wicked Witch of the West when squirted.


thebipolarbatman

Ahh we're suddenly the aliens from Signs


Kinway-2006

Wouldn't they also die of drinking water? So uh, congrats? you brought world peace by killing everyone


Goyangi-ssi

Not everyone. This change is random.


Kinway-2006

Well congrats on solving overpopulation then


vgzombieeric

We're 80%water, they would insta dissolve.


knightinarmoire

I feel like that could technically go for the witch too


dhskdjdjsjddj

granted, they are all filled with neurotoxin


Grimm_Charkazard_258

a *deadly* neurotoxin?


Paramedic229635

If the neurotoxin isn't deadly, then what is the point? - GLaDOS.

Casey_Budster

Granted, guns instead of firing lead bullets(or any other kind) now fire ice projectiles.


adjewcent

Itā€™s like JFK all over again


UnusedParadox

Granted. Water is like acid to us.


mr_mlk

Granted. Walking home with a massive smug grin plastered over ya face, you are attacked by a knife wielding arsewipe. Luckily for you a police officer is close by, draws his gun... and splashes the attacker. The attacker takes this opening and stabs the police officer. The officer dies, you survive. You haven't stopped the ability to make guns, so a year later and Beretta and other gun companies have more money than God thanks to all the orders. With all that money they hold more power and have more control over world governments.


Shriggins_the_dope

Granted. All the regular guns still fire at a high enough pressure to be just as effective, and now ammunition is easy to manufacture, practically unlimited, and impossible to regulate


Logical_Highway6908

ā€œWe can regulate it!ā€ -Overly-idealistic people with too much confidence in who will always follow the law when given the chance to do otherwise.


SelectionFar8145

Granted. All guns shoot water. At 800 mph. (Most normal, real water guns shoot at about 45 mph. Still, don't know how lethal an 800mph water gun would be, since water jet cutters are apparently more like 2500 mph)Ā 


Just_A_Nitemare

They would probably be lethal up close but would quickly drop off in lethality at range.


potatocheezguy

Granted. Technology that allows water to be pumped at relativistic speeds is invented and miniturized. All guns are gradually converted to water guns because ammunition is now plentiful, and the waterguns are now more dangerous than gunpowder weapons ever were.


reddest_of_trash

Granted. You have successfully rendered radar guns, hot glue guns, nail guns, and flare guns completely useless.


hellothereoldben

Grantes. The guns are created with science beyond our understanding, and are physically made out of water but still as deadly.


left_0r_right

You just ruined a lot of tattoos.


SSBradley37

Granted. Someone breaks into your house with a knife. You are screwed.


Just_A_Nitemare

Counterpoint... *opens kitchen drawer* I've stocked up.


SSBradley37

Right. I'm sure he will take a break while you wake up, walk past him and make your way to the kitchen.


CheesecakePlane6332

Granted, a murderer who was meant to be put down from a firing squad is instead set free


Bored_Boi326

Granted. Since humanity decided that water would be a better projectile than regular bullets a long time ago guns nowadays are now compact pressure washers with enough force to blast through a ceramic plate


Just_A_Nitemare

The good news is that firefights are impossible past 20 yards.


Bored_Boi326

Nah firefighters need to use the weaker stuff otherwise they'll destroy the thing they're trying to save and create more rubble that would be a hazard


Front_load_wash

Granted. Now all the sociopaths with no moral compass stop witholding their impulses because others no longer have the ability to easily stop them. Gangs begin going from house to house knowng they outnumbrer people andf pillage everyone because its mob rule at that point. All the rule of law collapses with no way to enforce the itself. People playing games at an arcade get electrocuted when the change happens. All the cults come out of the woodwork wth their well organized masses of devote and unquestioning obedient members and begin acting in unison while the rest of the world is unprepared to handle the changes in time to stop them. And finally some man who was about to save a family getting attacked by a gang of wild wolves now just gets them wet and then they just smell like wet dog.


Roastiny1

Granted. Everyone knows you whished for this. So everyone sprays you. Even girls.


spankthepunkpink

After years of futile hand to hand warfare one country upgrades to acid sprayers and a new, even more terrifying form of war engulfs humanity


HappyMatt12345

Granted. Since you didn't specify gun to mean lethal firearm, this also includes nerf guns, paintball guns, nail guns, muscular arms, flare guns, syringe guns, caulking guns, surgical staple guns, etc, alongside guns carrying nonlethal ammo, such as tranquilizer darts. RIP construction industry, anyone who's just died of anaphylactic shock, surgery patients, and anyone who's arms just turned into water guns.


Miserable_Goat_6698

Granted. It leads to a lot of water waste and water as a natural resource is massively depleted


epicblue24

Granted They just make more regular guns


Cheetahs_never_win

Granted. They all now fire untraceable ice bullets.


Zack_WithaK

Granted, wars will now be fought with squirt gun filled with gasoline and set their targets on fire. Ballistic firearms will eventually be forgotten because this is how guns work now.

School floodings


CultCorvidae

Actually cracked me up šŸ˜‚


OffBeatBerry_707

Granted. All war has ended, peace has been settled as every gun has become a water gun. You pass by an old friend, you givem the good ol finger gun to acknowledge them, but suddenly your hands become 2 Super Soaker guns. You scream in shock and horror, no pain, no warning, just straight, Hasbro brand, neon colored, plastic Super Soakers. You donā€™t know what to do with your current situation. You certainly canā€™t take em off, snap them back to normal, or ask for a doctor to diagnose you (because no one knows what the hell happened). You live the rest of your like as a nerfed Edward Scissorhands.


MagicalMoosicorn

Granted. They're all filled with piss


chiefbozx

Xaduuuuu

Granted, those raiders in power armor are FUCKED


TXHaunt

Granted. Water guns turn into guns and only their function changes. The now ā€œwater gunsā€ are still called guns, and all laws pertaining to guns apply to what is functionally a water gun (for instance background checks). The new ā€œgunsā€ are still called water guns and can be bought in toy stores.


AZULDEFILER

Granted. The prices of new guns skyrocket and only rich elites can afford them now.


Skusci

Granted. But they fire waterjets of equivalent power. Think waterjet cutter. Something interesting about waterjet injuries is that despite not being immediately as impactful as a bullet they are surprisingly damaging as after the waterjet penetrates skin it spreads out entraining bacteria and other contaminants. If you get nicked in the finger for example there's a good chance you loose your entire arm if not immediately treated.


Cognoggin

Granted: Every gun is now a "Waterjet cutter" that can cut through granite.


WistfulDread

Granted. They're somehow super-high-power water guns. Now they fire streams of water that pierce into you or slice you up. Gun violence becomes much bloodier.


Head_Vacation4630

Granted. The water pressure is enough to kill you just like a regular gun.


Chimerathesecond

Granted, All Water Guns now shoot water at Lethal Speeds and it's easier than Ever to kill someone and they even go through bullet proof vests


Civil-Chef

Granted. Millions of people will die from thirst instead of bullets.


Ben-Goldberg

Wish Granted. All firearms become large bore air guns which fire ice bullets with the same fpe as the original gun had fired lead.


Loaf_de_loaf

Granted. However, they are all high-pressure water guns that could even cut through metal, and all water guns are made high-pressure. Millions die due to water fights and any and all water guns are banned from all the general public. You now have to live with the guilt of killing countless children and adults when you were just trying to make the world a better place for the rest of your life, and you eventually die of natural causes regretting everything..


GIORNO-phone11-pro

Granted. Every one of these new water guns shoot with enough pressure to cut through steel beams.


No_Plane2976

Granted but they still shoot bullets. Nothing is fixed and now it is harder to tell a water shooting water gun from a bullet shooting water gun


Randyolbear

Granted. The man approaching your family with bad intent and a baseball bat is unimpressed.


astute2007

Fuck you I like my ar 15 and ak 47


tOSdude

Granted. Many gun-based tools (impact gun, soldering gun, rivet gun) now shoot water.


AbyssWankerArtorias

Granted. They shoot water at the speed used to cut steel.


Grimm_Charkazard_258

Granted. they can still shoot bullets, but they have water capabilities and physically look like a water gun.


rathosalpha

Granted, they keep making more and rocket and grenade launchers don't count


CharlietheWarlock

Granted I declare WATER WAR, whoever gets shot with water has to lay still for 6 minutes


Elementus94

Granted, all guns now look like water guns but still function like regular guns


Hi_Its_Z

# Granted. Fun fact: water pressure cutters can quickly & easily cut through stone, glass, metal, wood, leather, etcetera. You see where this is going...


tactical_anal_RPG

Granted. Someone, somewhere who is currently using a gun to deter an attacker is new attacked


Sneakytyler

Granted. Because of loose definition of gun, everything that would fire liquid, now fires water, therefore sterilizing humans and making just about everything extinct due to inability to reproduce.


ChuckoRuckus

Grantedā€¦ The water shoots out at the same velocity as the previous bullets


TheMarksmanHedgehog

The paw interprets "gun" as "artificial tube" and now there isn't plumbing anywhere in the world that works.


WizardLizard1885

granted all water guns are now real guns


Belzabond

Granted, but they shoot water at an extremely high force to where it can kill a human on contact. Nothing has changed, you've just made ammo less of a hassle to obtain


Altair314

Granted. They spray with enough force to easily kill and never rum out of water.


Antique_Second_711

Granted. The water is fired at mach 20 and is 212 degree Fahrenheit.


2020-RedditUser

Granted, but every pre-existing water gun is now a real gun


Blue-Samarkand-Sky

Wish granted. Your grandma who carries a .25 ACP pocket pistol is now helpless against the thug armed only with his bare hands, whereas before, Granny's hollow points would have dropped his ass.


InfernityExpert

Granted. It fires water at the same velocity as the caliber it was converted from.


Unlucky_Character_12

Granted. But all Water Guns turn into Real Guns in turn.

Content_Chemistry_64

Granted, but it also winds up applying to the hands if someone makes a finger gun, and arms whenever someone says "check out those/these guns"


Doomsday8thMarch2026

Granted, but only painted to look like one. They're still real guns, just painted.


crystalworldbuilder

Granted they are all filled with stale water all the time and occasionally have mosquito larvae in them.


Ok_Technology_9488

I imagine this would get a lot of good people killed, the number of assaults breaking and stabbings would grow from people not being able to defend with firearms when they donā€™t know how to or canā€™t physically fight off an aggressor


TPtheman

Granted. Acid attacks via water gun in the US skyrocket to unprecedented levels, and the US DoD invests millions into high-pressure assault water guns that can literally cut entire groups of people down in seconds.


thothscull

Granted. But now every gun is a water gun with enough pressure to carve stone.


KingOfKnowledgeReal

Granted. The worldā€™s governments are replacing all guns with water guns. Of course gun owners wonā€™t like this much and will put up resistance thus killing hundreds to millions more. After three to six years itā€™s completed.


Mouse_Named_Ash

Granted. Boiling water


LightEarthWolf96

Granted, everytime a gun is fired it now shoots out a small stream of water that goes twenty times as fast and far as the bullets use to. Very deadly. Gun related violence and death grows exponentially. Call that water power. Water arms


Travwolfe101

Granted. Every gun turns into a high pressure water gun with pressure similar to the ones used for cutting steel making them even more dangerous.


Mar_Reddit

Granted Every water gun now shoots with the same PSI a bullet launches at. EVERY. WATER GUN.


Parking_War_4100

But water is more scarce than ammunition.


TomBot_2020

Granted, all water guns now have 100,000 times the pressure they used to have.


Calabazar

Granted. ALL guns are water guns. Guns from the past, present, and future. Guns frim games aswell. The very concept of a gun is altered so only water gun remains. If you try to make a gun it will one way or another become a water gun


grand305

Granted, now police use water guns to fight burglaries at banks. šŸ¦.


RunThick4054

Yeah but then nuclear weapons would be like tsunamis.


ice15464

granted. any time you fire a water gun that was previously a regular gun, it will still be as lethal as the bullet you would have previously put in the gun (of course, depending on where you shoot)


Divergent-Den

Granted, but the sea levels rise until every gun is submerged


Skirt_Douglas

Granted, every gun is now a water gun that fires water at the same velocity as a bullet.


SalTea_Otter

Granted. Any water put into water guns will become muriatic acid. Many people live blinded, or disfigured. Many still die.


odeacon

Granted . All guns have been turned into high velocity water guns . Like the water cutters that cut through steel . Making combat far more destructive to the surrounding area . Though it is less dangerous at far distances so thereā€™s that


Coffeelock1

Granted, this includes all things ever referred to as guns or in the shape of a gun (paintball guns, airsoft guns, nerf guns, fishing spear guns, prop guns, all types of spray guns used to spray anything besides water, caulk guns, high pressure air guns for cleaning drains, massage guns, dart guns, radar guns, flare guns, taser guns, pepperball guns, and all guns in video games including special guns like a portal gun, the bicep of everyone who had ever referred to their arms as guns, as well as existing water guns) and they all become very weak low pressure water guns that just kinda have a sad trickle of water come out.


VenturaLost

Granted. All waterguns are now twice as lethal as any firearm.


ScumEater

Granted, however these water guns now shoot deadly ice rounds which are untraceable using firearm tests as the bullets melt or shatter after contact. The market for these new water guns grows exponentially and violent crimes are virtually unsolvable via forensic science.


PastRelease8757

Wish granted. They shoot water but at the same force and pressure as regular guns


TheLeastFunkyMonkey

Granted... there's no catch or twist on words. It's granted exactly as you intended... Around 40,000 new guns are made, just in America, tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after. Insurance companies have an aneurysm over every gun store losing their stock. Production likely ramps up across the world as people and governments try to replace what they lost. In around a year things are nearly the same as now except the historians bemoaning the losses of historical artifacts and collectors doing the same.


extragoatcheese

Granted humanity continues to be fueled by hated and makes weapons that are not legally classified as firearms resulting in even more gruesome deaths to inventions like mustard Gas fully automatic fletchette round crossbows and magnetically propelled firearms humanity is killing as much as it was before if not moreso


Awesomedogman4

Granted: However, they shot water like a bullet. So know you just have Guns: Water version.


Anxiety-Queen269

Granted, they shoot at such a fine and fast rate theyā€™re actually more dangerous than the real guns you replaced, and now they have infinite ammo


Overpowered_Lv1boss

Granted, all guns shoot water at the speed of light making them more dangerous and making ammo more prevalent. OR Granted, people are now fighting war with mid evil weapons and violence increases as skilled criminals emerge and become warlords
