M1 Garand rifles are used heavily by the US soldiers of the 25th Infantry Division in the film such as Pvt. Witt (Jim Caviezel), Pvt. Bell (Ben Chaplin), and PFC Doll (Dash Mihok).
PFC Doll (Dash Mihok) steals an M1911A1 hanging from a bunk in the ship carrying Charlie company to the island. He notabley uses it when he charges a Japanese machine gun emplacement and fires it at them. Basically every other US soldier also has an M1911A1 as their sidearm, although only few soldiers such as Sgt. Gaff (John Cusack) are seen using them.
Several US soldiers are seen using MK II Hand Grenadess in the film. At one point we see Sgt. Keck (Woody Harrelson) straightening the folds on the pin of his grenade, which proves to be a fatal mistake on his behalf when the pin pulls too easily while still attached to his belt.
The issued sidearm of the Japanese Imperial Army is the Nambu Type 14 Pistol. One soldier is seen using it to commit suicide when refusing capture after Hill 262 is taken. Later in the film we see Pfc. Doll (Dash Mihok) showing off a Nambu pistol to fellow soldiers in a personel transport truck, likely taken off a dead Japanese soldier on the Hill.
