These are all metal replicas that fire small 6mm yellow plastic balls at very low speed-- generically called "airsofts." The actual manufacture varies. The Baretta 92F was made by an outfit called STTI and is a special heavy weight type, weighing enough to pass as the real thing. I modified the magazine to show a single 9mm round at the top, which, of course, means it will no longer fire. The slide works as the real automatic would, except that it doesn't uncover the breach. The pistol to the right of it is more or less a S&W .38 made by KWC. It's too light to pass as real, but looks pretty good -- even to the grooving of the barrel. I left it able to fire.
The LA-85 A1 is a replica of the British infantry arm, now replaced by the A2 -- there's little visible difference, but the chief one is cocking lever that isn't a simple post, as this one is. The magazine slides out and loads with the same 6mm balls as the pistols. Trilux sights don't magnify or show a lit-up cross as the real ones do. The strap is one I attached myself.
The pistols I bought from a dealer in a weekly flea market in the LA area called Frank & Sons, (I think). I don't think they cost more than $20 each. The LA-85 I bought from Bob Guthrie on one of my last trips to Confurence. I believe he bought it from the same place I got the pistols.
The 9 mm and 5.56 mm brass are mostly non-live. Three of the 5.56 M-16 rounds are live, though. And one of them is loaded with a silver bullet... in case I meet any vampire Taliban.

Wait, you use the .12s? Is it a springer?
Sorry, I moved past the springs long ago. The escalation of arms brought me to a CA SAW firing about 310FPS. Springs are fun... till your friends get gas pistols, then it was on
Oh, and I know you placed a safety orange tip on those, because its the law and all. *wink*
Since I don't use them for target practise, it hardly matters to me what sort of stopping-power I get. I doubt they're very accurate, either. I know someone who has the Baretta similar to mine that uses a gas cylindar -- it'll put a dent in a tree. But it was two or three times as expensive, and I'd have to be buying gas all the time. I was satisfyed with the one I had.
Some of these came with orange tips, as per the law. That's okay. I just sprayed them matt black. It wasn't as though I planned to hold up a bank... or even go out of the apartment with them.
