There is also a PS2/Wii versions by different developers with different weapons and levels, this version has the player as a solo operative, with no AI friendlies and appears to re-use assets from Call of Duty 2: Big Red One.

Pistols
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is the main sidearm throughout the game by default.

Submachine Guns
Nambu Type 100/44

Shotguns
Winchester M1897
The Winchester Model 1897 Shotgun is first given to you at Guadalcanal. It is a very powerful short-range weapon that will take out any enemy with a few shots.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38/Type 99
The Arisaka Type 38 was the rifle used by the Japanese on many levels. It is a simple easy to use the rifle and surprisingly, you never see it with a bayonet. While called in the game a Type 38, it is modeled off of the Type 99, other than the receiver markings which is modeled off of a Type 38. For some reason, it is common for video games to call it by the wrong type of to take parts of one gun and put it onto the other.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the weapon you start out with at Corregidor. This was the main rifle in the US Marine Corps.
Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
