Semi-automatic rifles were the most common weapons, with the US using M1 Garands and M1 Carbines, Germany using Gewehr (pronouced Gev-er) 42 and 43s and the Soviet Union using SVT-40s.
Bolt-action rifles were also used to some extent, widely by snipers and a few by infantry. The US used almost no bolt-action rifles, while Germany used the Kar98k sniper rifle, the Soviet Union used the standard-issue Mosin-Nagant, and Japan used the Arisaka 35, 44, 97 and 99 types.
Submachine guns were used by several countries, but were used extensively by the Germans. They used the standard-issue MP40, while the US used the M2 Thompson, usually with a Round Drum (yes, it's the Tommy Gun), Britain using the STEN, and the Soviet Union using the PPSh-41, although it wasn't nearly as common as the SVT-40 or the Mosin-Nagant.
Machine Guns were also very popular, many of them being used since WWI. Germany used the MG42, which fired bullets so fast, every 150 rounds its barrel had to be changed because otherwise it would overheat and break! The US used the BAR and Browning M1919 machine guns, which were used in World War I. The Soviet Union used the DP-28 LMG, which was developed between World Wars, and was becoming outdated to the increasingly popular PPSh-41.
Shotguns were used to a much lesser extent, mostly by US special forces, carrying the famous WWI M1897 Trenchgun.
