The M1903A3 Springfield is correctly depicted the standard issue rifle of the United States Marines (as they did not get M1 Garands until the end of 1942). US Army soldiers and IJA soldiers use them as well (the later using them as a stand in for the Arisaka Type 38 and the Arisaka Type 99).

Lewis Gun
The Aircraft version of the Lewis Gun is used by IJA forces. This is somewhat correct as they were issued to the Imperial Navy instead of the Army under the designation "Type 92" however those Lewis Guns had a much larger drum magazine, used in a flexible mount, and had a distinctive trigger guard.
Explosives
M1 Mortar
US Marines use M1 Mortars to provide supporting fire.
M2 Mortar
IJA soldiers use M2 Mortars to keep the Marines back.
Mk 2 Grenade
Mk 2 hand grenades are used to blow up Japanese MG nest.
TNT
TNT is also used to to blow up Japanese MG nest.
