The following weapons appear in the video game The History Channel: Battle for the Pacific:
Main 360/PS3/PC Version
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is the main sidearm throughout the game by default.
Nambu Type 14
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.
Submachine Guns
Nambu Type 100/44
The 1944 model of the Nambu Type 100/44 modeled with a straight magazine instead of an accurate curved one is used by the Japanese Army in the game.

Shotguns
Winchester M1897
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.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38/Type 99
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 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.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the weapon you start out with at Corregidor. This was the main rifle in the US Marine Corps.
Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle

Emplaced Weapons
Browning M1919A6
The Browning M1919A6 can be seen as a usable emplaced weapon.

PS2/Wii Version
Pistols
Colt M1911A1 (Wii/PS2 Version)
The Colt M1911A1 appeaars, sometiems with a suppressor. (though the game's lack of stealth mechanics makes it not very helpful.)

Submachine Guns
Nambu Type 100 (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.
