Ones I've spotted :

Nozzle is made up of the Sandman gun from Logan's Run, the Space 1999 laser, and the Forbidden Planet blaster pistol.
Behind that, the M-41A from Aliens.
Big pistol behind that - the gun from Alien Nation, I think.
Behind that, Deckard's police gun from Blade Runner.
Same level as Deckard's gun but a couple back is the Noisy Cricket from Men in Black.
TOS Phaser Type 2 behind that.
Two below the cricket, the large one is from District 9 I think.
Below and to the right of that is a Babylon 5 PPG.
Below that, I think is Crichton's pistol from Farscape.
Below that, Judge Dredd's gun from the Stallone movie.
Below the District 9 gun on the left is the laser pistol from The Black Hole
To the right of that, I think, is the pistol from the new Battlestar Galactica series.
Bottom left is the ZF-1 from The Fifth Element
At the top is teh Ja'far blaster staff.
The one below that and to the left is the laser pistol from the V miniseries.
I think the top left one is Robocop's gun.

That leaves 4 I don't recognise.

The one behind and to the left of the Ja'far stick is driving me crazy... I'm sure I know it, but damned if I can quite get it to come to mind. I have half a thought it might be from a comic book...?

AHA! The one right under the Ja'far stick is the Ghostbusters proton pack emitter. I didn't recognise it without the actual pack attached!

I didn't go through your whole list - you seem pretty right on for the most part - but I believe the big revolver behind the Aliens pulse rifle is the ginormous revolver from Hellboy.

Ha, that could very well be correct.

Aha, the one behind Deckard's pistol is a TEC-9, from Big Trouble in Little China.

Yes, inasmuch as that was itself a barely-modified broomhandle Mauser.

Also, the rifle near the rear of the barrel with the exposed cartridges standing upright in the stock is Vera, Jayne Cobb's most treasured possession/friend in Firefly.
"Jayne: Six men came to kill me one time. And the best of 'em carried this. It's a Callahan full-bore auto-lock. Customized trigger, double cartridge thorough gauge. It is my very favorite gun.
[he holds the gun out to Mal]
Mal: [exclaims in Chinese] You offering me a trade?
Jayne: A trade? Hell, it's theft. This the best gun made by man. It has *extreme* sentimental value. It's miles more worthy 'n what you got!
Mal: What I got? She has a name.
Jayne: So does this. I call it Vera.
Mal: Well, my days of not takin' ya seriously are certainly comin' to a middle."

(After encasing the rifle in a spacesuit so it could fire out of an airlock) "Jayne: [to his gun] See Vera? Dress yourself up, you get taken out somewhere fun."

Reverse searched it. Going by the title I'd say I was right with the Han thing

There's an answer key here if you want to cheat.

It's the only one in there that is an actual real gun, which makes it a little unfair because I have seen it is a lot of movies.

Less 'cheating' and more 'acknowledging deficiencies in knowledge'.

Right before they seriously damaged the mummy when they tried to take the mask off. Offhand I don't know if they were the ones responsible for cutting the mummy in half either.
