Luger P08

Submachine Guns

M1928A1 Thompson

The M1928A1 Thompson is the main weapon of Captains Cross (Roy Roberts) and Davis (Richard Conte), some of the Marines, and is used by some of the IJA (instead the correct MP18, the MP28/II, or the Type 100).

M1903A3 Springfield

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.
