Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin! (龍が如く 維新!, lit. "Like a Dragon Restoration!") is an historical spin-off of the main Yakuza series. It follows character Sakamoto Ryoma through the Bakumatsu period of Edo period. While mostly focused on sword fighting, firearms do appear which is accurate to the era.
The following weapons appear in the video game Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin!:
Handguns
A revolver similar to the Colt 1861 Navy model appears in cutscenes and forms the "Imported Revolver" class of pistols. It has a Colt Walker's square shape triggerguard (which is mounted backwards) and cartridge-converted cylinder. Bizarrely, the weapon also still appears to have the loading lever of the percussion cap model, though it is encased in a surround which would render it useless. It also has a S&W-like hinge, which means that it should work as a top break.
"Double Strike"
The "Double Strike" is a modified version of "Imported Revolver". It, however, looks very different, somewhat resembling the pinfire revolvers of that time.
Smith & Wesson Model 2
A revolver based on the Smith & Wesson Model 2 appears in various cutscenes and is also Ryoma's first revolver model, fittingly named the "Model 2." It also has a grips from Smith & Wesson Model 1 1/2 and trigger group from Colt Dragoon (which triggerguard is mounted backwards, as on the "Imported Revovler"). This forms the basis of the "Model 2" class of pistols, the ultimate version of which is called the Golden Gun and appropriately has a golden finish. The Golden Gun then makes a return in Yakuza Kiwami.
"Domestic Revolver"
This model appears as the "Domestic Revolver" group and weirdly appears to have a wooden frame. It seems to be portraying a makeshift copy of above Model 2 (it seems also sharing its bottom-break action), and bears a passing resemblance to the Dreyse-Kufahl needlefire revolver.
Percussion Pistol-Style Revolver
The "Gale" (疾風), one of the many revolver models available on the game is one that has apparently been dressed up to look like a percussion or flintlock type pistol. It is an updated version of "Domestic Revolver", but unlike other versions, it seems nothing like it. It resembles the early flintlock revolvers, although the lock is missing and it evidently fires metal cartridges.
Rifles
Springfield 1861
Certain enemies use what appears to be a shortened carbine version of the Springfield 1861 caplock musket.
Other
Carriage Mounted Cannon
The blacksmiths' workshop has a cannon mounted on a carriage.
Gatling Gun
A large, four-barrel Gatling gun appears in the arms dealer shop. It appears to mount to a wheeled carriage, two of which are placed in front.
Large Cannon
Okita Souji can be seen firing a large cannon to blast open a gate in the opening video. For some reason, it appears to have spade grips like a Browning M2 machine gun.
Wheeled Cannon
A smaller cannon on a wheel mount is used by Dr Shinbei during his training, in what is essentially a re-hashing of the baseball mini-game on other Yakuza titles. It has a store for cannonballs on the side, although it is muzzle loaded.
