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. The older version of this model from the previous game engine also appears in flashback screenshots from Yakuza Kiwami.
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."
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.
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.
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.
