What different World War II guns were there?

Answer 1

That's a big question!

In the U.S. armorey, it would go from the side arm like the Colt 1911A1 .45 cal. semi-automatic pistol, the Springfield Armory 30-06 bolt action rifle, the Browning automatic rife, .30 cal.(B.A.R.)
Browning Air and Browning water cooled machine guns, Thompsom Arms sub- machine gun, (another .45 cal. ,also known as a tommy gun) and the M-1 Garand semi- automatic carbine. That's for personal weapons.
.50 cal. machine guns weighing over 100 lbs loaded, on tanks, all the way to 16 inch Navy battleship tubes that fired shells that weighed as much as a car miles inland with pinpoint accuracy ,among the largest mobile guns ever designed, were also used, alnog with field artillery pieces, towed weapons like the 105mm field cannon, and mortars.

The japanese used a rifle called an Arisaka, 7mm., another 7.7mm sniper rife, and various other small arms.

The British had the Sten, a pure combat machine gun , magazine fed and without a safety.

Every country had a complete selection of arms, both large and small.

Answer 2

One could write a book on this subject. I'll begin with pistols. The USA adopted the semi-automatic Colt 1911 in -you guessed it-1911. It was modified in 1919 and called 1911A1. England used an Enfield .380 revolver and just after the war switched to the semi-auto Browning GP-35 that was the most widely-used military pistol in the 20th Century. This gun was also used by Canada, and China had 250,000 of them made in Canada, for Germany took over the FN factory in Belgium where they were first produced. Russia used the semi-auto Tokarev T-33. Germany used the semi-auto Walther P-38 mainly and some older Luger P-08's and Mauser M-14's. Japan had the terrible T-94 that was as dangerous to Japanese as to enemies or more so. Italy had a Beretta T-34. As for rifles, the USA used mainly the M-1 Garand semi-auto .30-06. There was also an M-1 carbine that fired a .30 pistol round. An M-3 machine pistol fired the same .45ACP pistol shell as the Colt 1911A1 pistol. Germany had the bolt-action K-98 Mauser 7.92mm rifle and a Schmeisser machine pistol plus the original assault rifle. I don't have time to tell more now. I could write a book as I said. Indeed, I have written books about guns.
