Something new, something old - or both?
What’s in your draw at work today?

To take out your boss and colleagues ethically, at least 50 ft/lbs of muzzle energy is required... You're far away from that treshold with these toys, although that Beeman is a fair starting point. A real MK-IV Ruger in .45 ACP would be ideal though at more than 600 Joules.

At least I think that's a Beeman, I can tell that it's a pneumatic, but I'm unsure whether it's a Beeman or a Gamo

Wait... I just looked it up, I was kind of sure that it was either Beeman or a Gamo, but now I see that it's an early production AF-10, or at least something along those lines. Love the MKIv though, the silenced .22 pistol aka. the Mark IV was my favourite gun from the Fallout series. What is the third gun though?!

Triglav, you almost got it. It`s a Gamo PR-45. The "silver" Ruger as you say a Mark IV (all plastic, but it shoots), and of cours a classic one - the Diana mod.5.

What caliber is the Diana? I was shooting my 0.22 'Original' branded version yesterday, really solidly built.

If anyone at my place of employment saw those in my desk drawer, the building would be evacuated , then surrounded and Id be escorted outside to sign my termination papers
These people are terrified of any device that launches a projectile, even though Montana has a long and rich firearms tradition.

Yeah that would be my job. Although I have no desk or office I work for a major corp and they pretty much all hate guns anywhere near their properties.

That's by far, the least powerful gun that I have at my desk. I don't think the others can be shown here.
It's one of advantages of being the HMFIC.

Not in my line of work. A letter opener and staple remover were the closest things resembling any kind of weapons I ever had.

Unfortunatly Bozeman has turned into Boze-Angeles and Dan Bailey's just isn't the same anymore. Alternatively, we had a CCW class for our employees and encourage responsible carry. If this can happen in Kalifornia there's still some hope for Montana.

That is awesome to offer your employees the class and encourage carry. Never even thought of the class, although we do allow our employees and customers to carry legally on our property.

Yup - pretty much this. Corporate America - there's even something about having weapons at work in the Employee Handbook.
Anecdote time - last company I worked for there was this one guy who I always felt there was something off about. Come into work one day and someone hands me a newspaper article. Apparently this guy was road raging with another person on a local highway and then started waving around a gun at the other person. Police pulled him over and found two guns under his car seat. Security cleared his desk at work and found like 5 huge knives in his work drawer.

Even though a dark joke, it's still a just a joke, that's all there's to it. But I agree with you on the fact that for modern day and age, it was a little off... Back in the day in my country, you could go live on a national TV programme and say that you're going to finish someone off, and people would laugh at you, they wouldn't even bat an eye (a mayor of some city in my country actually said, that he was going to shoot up the parliament building, and folks just shrugged it off), but if you say something like that today, people (for the most part) instantly lose their minds... Same thing goes with keeping air pistols or airsoft guns in drawers at work, in the old times everyone used to have them, we even brought them to schools, to practise shooting and have fun with friends, but nowadays fun like that is mostly a thing of the past, even in the US or Switzerland/Germany, from what I read here, with people claiming that they'd be fired or worse, if someone, like an inspector, would find an airsoft/air pistol in their drawer...
But what I really can't wrap my head around is that folks who grew up watching series like South Park or B&BH ended up being the ones so offended and infuriated over jokes like these, even though I'm not saying that the poster on this one had been offended or anything, just laid out the obvious fact about the modern age and the "shoot them up" jokes. You hit a nail on the head on this issue.
