Yakuza: Like a Dragon (JP: 龍が如く 7 Ryū ga Gotoku 7 lit. "Like a Dragon 7") is a role-playing game developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studio and published by SEGA. It was released in 2020 for the PlayStation 4, XBOX One, XBOX Series S/X, and PC, with an enhanced version for PlayStation 5 slated for an early 2021 release. It is the eighth main game in the Yakuza franchise.

Handguns

Colt 1911-type pistol

One of the many returning weapon models from previous games is this distinctive Colt 1911 clone, first seen in Yakuza: Dead Souls. It most closely resembles the Para Ordnance 7.45. In this game, it appears to fire in double-action mode, which is extremely rare for a Colt 1911 clone. Later on however, Geomijul deputy leader Joon-Ji Han has a pair of the same gun models wielded akimbo, and this time the hammers are in the back position.

Rear view. Note how the hammer is down even though the gun was recently fired. This generally does not happen with 1911-type pistols, which are almost always single-action only.
Having appropriated the 1911 from Takabe, Zhao now points it at him. The hammer is still down.

Nambu Model 60

The Nambu Model 60 handgun is seen in the holsters of police officers in the game.

Makarov PM clone

As has been the case for the past 11 years, this Makarov PM clone with an extended barrel has been a favourite of the Yakuza series' eponymous criminals. There appear to be both black and silver versions of this pistol in the game.

Baikal-442 - 9x17mm Browning/9x18mm Makarov/9x19mm. It is a Canadian market import model of the Makarov. It features an long barrel, not seen on the military Makarov pistol.

Walther PPK

Seong Hui, leader of the Geomijul, has a Walther PPK. This model has been taken from previous games, including what appears to be the de-cocking lever from the SIG-Sauer P230 acting as some kind of slide release.

Grenades

"Hand Grenade"

Hand grenades are available as a "battle item," unsurprisingly dealing damage to the target and nearby enemies when used. This model is the same as has featured in previous games, and does not appear to be based directly on any real-life model.

Type 97 hand grenade

As with Yakuza Kiwami 2, the Type 97 hand grenade is depicted as being an incendiary grenade despite the fact that it is actually a fragmentation grenade.

Other

Airsoft Remington 700

The Remington 700 model from previous games (albeit without the laser sight) is reused in YLAD as an airsoft weapon during a substory.

"Bowgun"

Members of the Geomijul use crossbows, which are referred to in the game as "Bowguns," for the silent approach. This weapon type is also used by enemies in battle encounters.

Flamethrower/energy weapon

Certain enemy job classes use what appears to be a flamethrower, or possibly some kind of plasma weapon given the weird colour of the "flames."

Rocket Launcher

The rocket launcher model from previous Yakuza games, the Panzerfaust 3 model from Binary Domain with the warhead removed, is used in the go-kart side-quest.

Ever the sportsman, Kasuga quite literally blows away the competition with his rocket launcher.

Various fake weapons

The "Sniper Assailant" from the aforementioned substory appears to be a big fan of airsoft/fake weapons, as he has a shelving unit full of them in his room. This includes various models recycled from previous games, including the M134 Minigun, Modified MAC-10 model, flashbang grenades, Tanegashima, and weird weapon-shop rifles.

During Kasuga's "discussion" with the "Sniper Assailant," the (presumably fake) Minigun, Tanegashima, and Flash-bang grenades can be seen in the background.
After said "discussion" and ensuing fight, another angle reveals the modified MAC-10 model and (mostly obscured) weird rifle.
