Can you ID them? 
My favorite Twilight Zone episode was with Andy Devine called "Hocus Pocus and Frisby"
Here is a link to the episode.

saab-bob, luv your signature line. "I think therefore I own guns". Perfect.
Well, the big one in the uppermost photo is a real Whitney Wolverine .22 semi auto pistol. A collector's item today and ahead of its time in styling. The little ones next to it, if memory serves me, I think were double action spring loaded and shot those little clay balls that were covered with some sort of thin silver colored plastic coating. They also may have shot little hollow or solid plastic balls. They strongly resembled the Whitney Wolverine pistol but I don't remember what the little toy ones were called though.
In your second photo, the Hi Standard Challenger looking one at the top was the Johnny Eagle big game hunter pistol that came with the big game hunter set and the 1911 one is also a Johnny Eagle one but I can't remember which set it came from. Both of them may have been available individually as well as with sets too, I can't recall. I remember that black Luger as a squirt gun.
I had a very realistic toy Luger (that was double action though) that the toggle actually worked when you double action'ed the trigger and it fired a plastic bullet that went into the front of the barrel over a little metal piece, that was projected out by the force of a toy cap. What was unusual about it was that the toggle actually went up and down as you double action'ed it. I can't remember for sure, but it may have been a 007 or Man From Uncle secret agent toy gun. I've thought about that working toy Luger toggle action for years. Wish I could find it again on e bay.
I don't recognize the silver one that looks kinda like a Luger, a Lahti or Glisenti, but has more of a rear slide area that looks like a P38. That one isn't it, but I had one that looked a little similar that folded up to look like a camera and was a spy/secret agent gun.
How many did I get correct?
