As the previous answers state, there were many different weapons on the battlefields of Korea. When you ask what weapons "they" used do you mean the Communist or United Nations forces?  Both sides used primarily leftover stocks from World War II  which had ended  less than five years previous to the onset of  conflict  in Korea.  The Soviet backed  North Korean forces  used Soviet  made  weapons and had an arguable advantage  over the U.N. Forces in a few areas, most notably  in the standard arms that rifle companies carried.  The U.S had almost completely halted development and production of  small arms in the post-WWII due to the then current administration's view that the nuclear age had made ground warfare a thing of the past.
