mostly agree above,for the PLA during the korean war,they used various weapons made by various countries,eg,the type 38 arisaka captured from the japs,the chaingkaishek mauser 98k,and mausers made by the chinese native arsenals..of course several mosin nagants from soviet,the ZB series LMG,and the LMGs from jps, the sten SMG,pphs-41 from soviet,and some SMGs from swiss,........
and countless kinds of pistols as well..
however, by some reports from PLA at the time,the most effective weapon is the M1 carbine that captured from the KMT，so coming to airsoft,we can make an M1 CARBINE made by marushin as a replacement.
and i ve got the gear for the pla below:
