Depends.

Infantry used everything from grenades and mortars to Bangalore torpedos (a 20+ foot long length of pipe filled with high explosive for cutting thick barbed wire and detonating landmines, thus leaving a safe passage.

Navy used everything up to their largest 16 inch shells, to soften the landing sites and attempt to destroy fortifications above the beach and behind it.
