what are the most beautiful guns of WWll for you

You used beautiful and Mosin Nagant in the same sentence. To each there own lol.
Though I guess they are not strictly WW2 I find both my Swedish Mauser and my No.1 MkIII* smle to be very elegant looking rifles.
 
No4 Mk I T, or any No4. Great lines.

The finest of the Nagant's, the M39

Some 1940 Lithgow's fitted with Queensland maple would be some of the most beautiful looking No1s around, dont have one myself yet but i'm looking.
 
I have a particular interest in railway guns. But I will assume that the OP meant rifles and other small firearms :D

No4Mk1(T), I have to agree with a few others.

If it wasn't for its forward-bent bolt handle, the French MAS would also get my vote; not sure why they are not appreciated more.

Light machine gun? I like the look of the Lewis. The magazine kind looks like a hat; stylish, classy accoutrement. "What, we're going into combat? Wait, I can't show up without something on my head, that would be a fashion faux pas".

The BAR also has some style, simple and clean, purpose-looking. Oh and the MG42, something about that one... ok sorry I'm steering off-course.

SMG? Easy:

Pistol? Maybe the Browning HP, the Colt 1911... No, the Luger I think. It'd be easier to choose the ugliest pistol, now that there are plenty of!
 
SMLE (prefer to No 4 personally)
K98
Thompson
03 Springfield
Flak 88 (you never stipulated size :) It's a beautiful piece of engineering)
