Kar98 K or the Mosin Nagant for rifles;
STG-44 or MP40 for submachine guns; and
MG42 for the machine gun.

Oh yeah...and the Gewehr 43 as for the sniper rifle.

You got it all wrong:
The STG-44 was an assault rife, the first in the world if i'm not mistaken.
the Gewehr 43 was not a sniper rifle it was a semi-automatic rifle the germans borrowed the design from the superior russian takerov (i'm not sure how you spell it) design.

probably the Colt 1911 .45 pistol. i dont have any specs on it, but i know it was a powerful gun, more so than any 9mm of the day.

i dont think so, railway guns arent generally classified as "pistols." so what was the most powerful pistol? a luger? a P-38? those are the only 2 i can think of other than the 1911.
