Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (Ryū ga Gotoku 6: Inochi no Uta (Japanese: 龍が如く6 命の詩。, Like a Dragon 6: Poem of Life) is a videogame by SEGA released in December 2016 in Japan and April 2018 worldwide for PlayStation 4. The game was subsequently released for XBOX One, Windows 10, and Steam in March 2021. Set in the new location of Onomichi, Hiroshima, as well as the staple Kamurocho, Tokyo district, Yakuza 6 is the seventh game in the main Yakuza series, and the last to feature Kazuma Kiryu as the main protagonist. Kiryu is searching for the father of his adoptive daughter Haruka Sawamura's infant son after a mysterious accident leaves her in a coma. A revamped battle system means that Kiryu can no longer purchase or obtain weapons, including firearms, outside of picking them up during battles. Such weapons cannot be placed in his inventory.

The following weapons appear in the video game Yakuza 6: The Song of Life:


Handguns

1911-type pistol

Certain characters, including Hirose Family patriarch Toru Hirose (Beat Takeshi) have this 1911 clone, familiar to those versed with previous games, which mostly resembles a Para Ordnance LDA 7.45. It does have elements from other pistol series such as the Beretta 92 series pistols. The older version of this model from the previous game engine also appears in flashback screenshots from Yakuza Kiwami.

In the time it took for Kiryu to move in between him and Lo, Someya remembered to actually cock the hammer back, the 1911 being a single-action-only pistol.
Way back in 2005, being scared stiff after having witnessed a massacre at Bacchus bar, 9-year-old Haruka meets the man that will become her father figure for the first time.

Makarov PM

As usual in the Yakuza series, this modified Makarov-PM-type pistol with an extended barrel and ring hammer is a stalwart of the criminal underworld, being used by Tojo Clan yakuza and the Saio Triad alike. A silver-coloured version also appears in street fights, simply labelled as "Pistol."

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.

...shooting him three times, then hitting him with the butt of the pistol, which does as much damage as each of the shots. Because Yakuza.
Note: Kiryu never killed anyone.

Nambu Model 60

Police officers in the game are modelled with this revolver holstered. It is distinguished by its distinctive lanyard ring and associated handgrip cutout.

Nambu Model 60/Smith & Wesson Model 36

This hybrid of the Model 60 and its Smith & Wesson Model 36 forbear appears from its numerous appearances in previous Yakuza titles, having been retextured for the new game engine here. Unlike the Model 60, this revolver lacks the lanyard ring and handgrip cutout. It also has a straight barrel like the 36, lacking the Model 60's distinctive sharp taper towards the frame end of the barrel. It nonetheless retains Model-60-like features, such as the shape of the cylinder release lever and the extended thumb lever on the hammer.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 special.
In a flashback sequence a Yakuza thug holds the revolver, despite the scene taking place before the Model 60 or Model 36's existence. (Though given how it's only shown for a few scenes overall this asset reuse isn't that surprising.)
Business end.
A young Hirose holds the Nambu, having stolen it from the aforementioned thug.
A young Kurusu hands the thug back his revolver.

Other

"Speargun"

In the sea fishing minigame, which plays as an on-rails shooter such as other famous SEGA franchises like House of the Dead, Kiryu uses a harpoon gun, called a "speargun" in-game. There are different models with different stats such as ammo count and power that are unlocked during the course of the associated side-quest. To prompt the player to reload, the speargun makes a "ping" like that of an M1 Garand when the last spear has been fired.

Kiryu dives into the water, speargun in hand.
An epic showdown between the Dragon of Dojima and a giant squid.

Rocket launcher

In one scene, a Yakuza from the Yomei Alliance uses a rocket launcher to fire at Kiryu. It appears to be the same model as the rocket launcher from Binary Domain, which is based on the Panzerfaust 3, except the warhead has been removed for this game. Yakuza 6 is the first appearance of this particular model, which is later used in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon

M134 Minigun (Handheld)

Tojo Clan thugs in the helicopters which harass Kiryu during his assault on Millennium Tower are armed with these. It isn't clear if they are actually attached to the choppers but it doesn't seem to be the case since they are help in the chainsaw grip configuration.

Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Gun

The Yamato MKII is equipped with many Type 96 25 mm AT/AA Guns in triple mounts.
