Devil fruit users gained their powers by eating the devil fruit. But how did
these inanimate objects gain their power?

This is Luffy, eating a devil fruit before he became a rubber man.

And this is Lassoo, one of Mr.4's guns that became a dog. How did a gun ate
it?

How do inanimate objects eat devil fruit?


As mentioned in the comment, Dr. Vegapunk's scientific expertise is the logic
behind an inanimate object being able to "consume" a devil fruit.

This is the only known research paper of his related to this experiment:

The inanimate objects who have eaten Devil Fruits are:

  * [Mr. 4](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._4)'s gun, [Lassoo](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Lassoo)

  * [Spandam](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Spandam)'s sword, [Funkfreed](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Funkfreed).

It is also notable that the only Devil Fruits shown to be capable of achieving
such a feat are Zoan devil fruits. It may be because Logia and Paramecia only
grant the users supernatural powers, which would not bring the objects to
life.

This is all that is known about the matter.
