The USSR supplied T-34 medium tanks. The US countered with their own. Left over WWII Japanese Type 95 light & Type 97 medium tanks were also utilized by either force, depending upon which nation they were abandoned in (North or South). In 1950, when the war began, the Communist Chinese were also relying on the Soviet tanks & as well as left over WWII Japanese tanks.
They were Russan T-34 tanks probably left over from WW2.

In the early cold war period they used to get most of their guns from the Soviet Union and China (and of course they had some leftover weapons the Russians confiscated from Japan during the final stages of WW2).

Small Arms are being domestically made. Such as:

Type 49 Submachine Gun (North Korean PPSh-41 copy)

Type 58 Assault Rifle (North Korean Milled Receiver AK-47)

Type 63 Rifle (North Korean SKS)

Type 68 Pistol (North Korean Tokarev TT-33)

Type 68 Assault Rifle (North Korean Stamped Receiver AKM)

Chogyok Pochong (North Korean copy of the Yugo Zastava M-76 Sniper Rifle)

Paektusan Pistol (North Korean Copy of the Czech CZ-75)

Type 88 Assault Rifle (North Korean Copy of the AK-74)
