    What should be my next WWII era firearm?

    I've been slowly working on my WWII firearms collection. Right now, I own a firearm from most of the major powers of WWII.

    USAicon - M1 Carbine, M1911
    UKicon - Lee-Enfield, Browning Hi-Power
    USSR - Mosin-Nagant
    Germanyicon - K98, P38

    The only one that I don't have is Japan, so I have been looking around to see if there are any that are available in my area. I was lucky to find a gunshop that has a few for sale, but I am unsure if i want to get an Arisakaicon, or if i should go for an M1 Garand, or is there anyhing else that I should go after instead?

    Any thought from anyone out there?
