Implications of water in the bands? Don't know, I was just surprised to see it streaming out when I unscrewed my wishbone for the first time. It doesn't seem to adversely affect performance as far as I can tell (new gun) but I doubt if it helps. I usually try to remove all salt water from the gun after use - so should probably flush the bands inside too (not hard).
Usually, I don't find water in the RA rubbers as the wishbone is tied tightly in, blocking the holes, but I did find a little water in my old 16mm bands when I replaced them & was concerned as the gun had starting seeming a little muzzle heavy around the same time. In hindsight, I was probably just becoming more aware of the characteristics gun.
