No workbench, 15s, yields 1
Faster at a higher workbench: 7.5s at Workbench Level 1, 3.75s at Workbench Level 2 or 3.
The Water Gun blueprint comes with the Summer Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn.
What the Water Gun gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 93 + 75% Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 75 Metal Fragments |
| Green recycler | 50% | 62 + 50% Metal Fragments |
| Yellow recycler | 40% | 50 Metal Fragments |
The Water Gun breaks down into Metal Fragments.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “93 + 75%” means 93 every time and a 75% chance of one more.
In Rust, Water Gun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #722955039, console shortname gun.water). In active play, it follows standard server rules for ranged weapon gear across procedural maps. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 5 minutes.
A large water gun with pumpable pressure. Hold reload to pump!
Crafting Water Gun in Rust takes 15 seconds by hand without a workbench, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When comparing Water Gun against related weapons in Rust, craft copies once the blueprint is unlocked (15 seconds per craft) and recycle surplus spares at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base efficiency) rather than a safe-zone yellow recycler (forty percent efficiency) to maximize recovered materials.

The Water Gun comes with the Summer Pack DLC in Rust. It is crafted by hand from 125 Metal Fragments. Raw ores smelt into metal inputs in a furnace while non-craftable components must be looted from monument crates before queuing the craft at your workbench.
The Water Gun recycles in Rust at an unpowered green recycler into 62 Metal Fragments plus a 50% chance of one more. Full material recovery applies to an undamaged copy, whereas worn items return proportionally fewer resources based on their remaining condition bar when shredded.
The Water Gun takes 15 seconds to craft, down to 3.75 seconds at Workbench Level 2 or 3 in Rust. It belongs to the Weapons category under numeric ID 722955039 across 85 weapons and despawns after 5 minutes when dropped on a default server.
The Water Gun blueprint comes with the Summer Pack DLC, so owners craft it without researching it in Rust. Researching it anyway costs 10 scrap at a Research Table. It sits in the Weapons catalog with item ID 722955039 alongside 84 related weapons.
Dropped with nothing attached or inside in Rust, the Water Gun despawns after 5 minutes by default. Picking it back up into a player inventory or storing it inside a base container immediately resets that ground despawn timer, which the server scales by item rarity tier.
The Water Gun has 32-bit signed item ID 722955039 and shortname gun.water in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Weapons category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Water Gun in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give gun.water 1 or inventory.giveid 722955039 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
