Well I'll tell you ones I know of the top of my head: CYMA: Thompson M1A1, 1928 with M1A1 bolt AGM: MP44/STG44, MP40, Tanaka: Luger, K98, Arisakas, Nambus Ares: PPSh-41, M3A1, future Thompsons Marushin: Garands, Carbines WE: M1911A1, Luger DBoys: shell K98 SRC: MP40 SGS: Mosin Nagant, PPSh Hexagon Prod. : PPSh VFC: BAR 1918 CraY expensive TOP MG42, might as well buy a real Garand M1C sniper for the money. I left alot out but those are excellent choices (unsure of SGS and some tanakas but all else are fine)

keep in mind they don't have to be commercial made to be ww2 airsoft guns. thats the cool part, anyone can make their own airsoft gun. but, since this is about commercially made ones...
viva arms 1919a4 shoei mp44 (if you can find it) kjw 1911 tm 1911 2nd Bat's garand AEG (fantastic weapon, i might add) CYMA thompson or TM with 1928 kit

It really is a copy of CYMA, but Ares is coming out with a correct 1928 Thompson later this year. And I hope someone will make an AEG M1 Garand and an AEG M1 Carbine, not conversion, but standard production model.
What you might be able to do is take the reciever of a cyma 1928, cut each side plate off, remove the rear sight, weld parts back together with bolt on top and add the rear sight their, and modify as nessesary. It obviously woudnt easily work so pay the extra $100 (estimated) and go with an Ares.

the metal they use on most chinese airsoft guns is called "pot metal", and is a cheap aluminum alloy, and, is not weldable. if you heat it up to bend it or cut it, it melts like the T-1000 in the "terminator 2" movie. i believe freelancer managed to modify it, but i dont know how? id like to know though. the most you could do is JB weld to fill parts in with pot metal, or, make a new mold to cast it. i think i could wait for the Ares to come out.

and the lower reciever and furniture on the 1928 are different from the m1a1 too. i hope this new Ares one will change all that.

Imperial Japan - type 99: ktw type 38: ktw type 14: marushin Tanaka makes far better Arisaka Type-99 and Type-38 models, but I don't know if they're still in production. However, the KTW arisakas are pretty well impossible to find these days. Tanaka also made type-38 and type-44 Arisaka carbines but those were apparently of extremely limited production. KTW makes Type-97 and Type-99 LMGs but they are of incredibly poor skirmishing quality (hardly better than an electric pistol) and are among the most expensive airsoft guns in the world.

A list hmm... I don't want to bother with all of them, but off the top of my head.
American:
Pistols: Colt1911 .45: Not even going to bother, you'll find them anywhere TM.6mm, WE.6mm, Marushin.6mm, Tanaka.6mm .38 Special: Tanaka.6mm, Marushin.6mm Alot of other pistols
SMG: M1A1 Thompson: CYMA.6mm, TM.6mm (Both Battery) M3A1 Greese Gun: Hudson.6mm(Gas), the brand new Ares.6mm(Battery) BAR 1918A2: VFC.6mm, Matrix.6mm, JAC.6mm,(All Battery) [not sure were to put BAR under]
Rifles:I don't count any of these as airsoft, because Marushin uses oversized BB's. But I'll include them for now M1 Carbine: Marushin.8mm(Gas) <---I don't think it counts as airsoft, since it does'nt use normal bbs M2 Carbine:Marushin.8mm(Gas) <---Once again, needs special bbs, can't stand that. M1 Garand: Marushin.8mm(Gas) <---Same thing as the Carbines, huge 8mm bbs
So pretty much no rifles, that really sucks... One of them needs a standard 6mm M1 Garand or Carbine, 8mm is completely useless and Marushin is the only company that uses 8mm anyway

if youve used the 8mm bb youll find out how effective it is. it has extreme power and range and is great for airsoft. also, just to point out, the m2 wasnt used in ww2. the carbine and garand thing has been on forever. yes, it would be nice, but there's only 1000 other people who said that before me. we all want rifles but all the other airsofters just want spray and pray guns.

Many fields will not allow 8mm as transfering the hit power into jouels isn't an easy thing to translate Obviously a .43 or .34 gram BB is going to hit with more inertia than a .20 gram BB. So how much lower does the FPS need to be for them to be equal? The larger strike surfaces help to mitigate it somewhat but it all gets a bit hazy.

Not to get off topic, but to reply to Cole regarding welding potmetal. It can be done. Potmetal melts at around 790 degrees and I use a welding rod that melts at around 360 degrees. It's definately a pain in the rear, but it can be done. I have used it on old cowboy capguns from the 50s for minor repair and it can get a bit globby, but that's why God invented dremels. I've not tried it on any of the airsoft guns yet, but I bet it would be an easy way (relatively speaking) to add metal to those worn potmetal parts.
