Close, but no cigar. I’m fairly sure the ‘browning high power’ is a CZ.
A-, must try (a bit) harder.
Best wishes. -
That’s a Barrett Model 95. It’s also a CZ 75 not a hipower. The bottom row looks a like a squirt gun to me and I have no idea what the car is.

I’m not sure about all those Uzis, but I think the car is a Gaia-pollutin’, size 18 EEE carbon-footprint-havin’, non-eco friendly, love child of a Vauxhall Cresta and an AMC Matador.

anonymous, I think the bottom-left “ray gun” is actually a potato-pellet gun.
Many thanks to Inebriated Arsonist at Sebastian’s for identifying it. -

The car is a British-market Ford Cortina mark III. Looks to be a ’72.

I remember buying those “spud guns” at the local drug store in the late fifties. IIRC, they cost about a buck. Stick that short muzzle into a potato (spud), squeeze the grip, and the short piece of potato stuck in the muzzle would launch towards your target. Me and the neighbor boys had many an epic battle with those.

heynow …
i’ll stick with “shooty things” for #’s 1-9, although #9 somewhat resembles a nerf gun to me … all #10 looks like it could shoot is holes in your checking account 🙂 -
