Submachine Guns

Thompson Submachine Gun

The Thompson Submachine Gun is used by the Allied themed model (which is based on WWII period US infantry) of the Infantry unit. It also seen on the unit portrait, the Thompson also appears on the portrait of the Axis themed Infantry and Volksgrenadiers unit even though they actually use MP40s and STG44s respectively.

MP40

The MP40 is used by the Axis themed model of the Infantry unit, however, likely due to recycling, their unit portrait shows them with the same Thompson from the Allied version's portrait. The Aztec Jaguar Infantry unique unit also wields the same weapon as the Axis infantry even though the portrait depicts them with M1 Garands. The Jaguar Infantry have unique animation showing them firing the weapon one-handed.

Generic Bolt-Action Rifle

Generic WW1 period bolt-action rifles are used by the Riflemen unit. Considering that the Riflemen models are based on WW1 era British, German and WW2 era Japanese infantry, the generic rifle shared by those units likely stands in for Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III, Mauser Gewehr 1898 and Arisaka.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III

The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III is used by the British Black Watch unique unit. It can be identified by its distinctive thicker shape compared to the regular bolt-action rifle model used by the regular riflemen and the fact that the Black Watch is based on WW1 period Highlander units of the British army.
