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 [[Arisaka Type 38|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.

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.
The following weapons appear in the video game The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific:
Nambu Type 14 pistols are seen in Japanese officers' holsters, but they never use them in the 360/PS3/PC versions, only when in "last stand" after getting down.
The M1A1 Thompson is the standard submachine gun of the U.S Marine Corps. The in-game model is equipped with a 30-round magazine which only includes 20 bullets.
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.

The Mk 2 hand grenade was the main grenade used by the U.S Marines, you can kill 1-6 Japanese soldiers with this grenade. You will use 20 grenades in the whole game.
Anachronistic and out-of-place M15 anti-tank mines must be disarmed at one point in the game.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingM15 Anti-Tank MineError creating thumbnail: File missingMidway through clearing a Japanese minefield, the protagonist is distracted from the question of why the Japanese would lay down a field of unburied American-made anti-tank landmines that haven't been invented yet to stop infantry by said mines' markings; "TM-46" is written on them, despite that being a completely different (and also anachronistic) mine.
The Browning M2 is mainly mounted on the patrol & PT boats and is mounted in several places on Corregidor. It can also be mounted in the Wake Island level.
The Type 97 Aircraft Machine Gun can incorrectly seen mounted on the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2a Type 0 Model 11 "Zero" long-range carrier-based fighter aircraft's wing instead of in its nose.
Nambu Type 14 pistols are seen in Japanese officers' holsters, but they never use them in the 360/PS3/PC versions only when in "last stand" after getting down, however, they do use them in the PS2/Wii version.
The Type 100 submachine gun appears, an odd thing is that all regular enemies are either armed with the Type 100 or Type 40 Rifle, both weapons are never encountered together, this is incredibly inaccurate as the Japanese deployed fewer Submachine Guns compared to other armies during the war.
The M1A1 Thompson appears as the player's starting weapon in a few stages, it appears to be the same model from Call of Duty Big Red One, just with downgraded textures.
The Type 44 Carbines appears as the main weapon of the Japanese forces, it is equipped with a bayonet but the player always smacks with the stock in melee.
