Yakuza Kiwami (Japanese: 龍が如く KIWAMI Lit. Like A Dragon: Extreme) is a Japanese video game released in late 2015 in Japan, and August 2017 in English-speaking regions. It is a remake of the original 2006 Yakuza game. However, most of the types of guns used on this game are different models compared to the original. It is likely that the guns were modelled on airsoft derivatives, as the game developer has previously credited Tokyo Marui for lending them airsoft models to use for Binary Domain.
The following weapons appear in the video game Yakuza Kiwami:
Handguns
Colt .38 Detective special
This gun is known in Japan as the 9.65mm pistol. It is the standard issue pistol for Japanese police officers and is seen at various points during the game. Kiryu uses Date's 9.65mm pistol during the Yokohama car chase, where it has a 20-round capacity(!)
Beretta 92 FS
This 9mm pistol is used by members of the MIA, in contrast to the original game where they used Glock 26s. A slow-motion sequence during the game correctly shows the delayed-blowback mechanism, where the barrel rotates around its axis to unlock the breech. However, the sequence is chronologically incorrect, as the gun starts blowing back before the projectile exits the barrel.
Makarov PM
This gun is used by a number of Yakuza gangsters and can also be purchased by Kiryu from the weapons dealer. Compared to an actual Makarov, the barrel appears to be extended, and it has a ring hammer. The trigger guard is shaped at a straighter angle, like a Makarov PB.
Shotguns
Remington M870
This shotgun is used in a side mission by a man in drag, as well as a man on the Yokohama car chase sequence. The front part of the shotgun appears to be modelled on the Remington Model 31, with a piece linking the front of the magazine to the barrel. A version that has been modified to fire slimy liquid can also be purchased from the weapon dealer.
Assault Rifles
Vektor R5
A Snake Flower Triad man uses an assault rifle that appears to be similar to a Vektor R5. Like the Vektor, it features a folding stock and the gas mechanism at the front is shaped in the same way, with the front sight placed directly above the gas transfer linkage. However, the front grip and lower receiver are shaped differently. It is likely that the model is based off some kind of airsoft derivative.
Other
RPG-7
Various Snake Flower Triad members with RPG-7s try to blow up Date's car during the Yokohama car chase. The projectiles advance very slowly, so that the player has time to shoot them before they hit the car.
Sig Sauer P220-derived air gun
An air gun that appears to be based on the Sig Sauer type design is purchasable from the weapons dealer as "Modified Toy Gun."
Type 97 Hand Grenade
Antagonist Futoshi Shimano throws a Type 97 hand grenade near the end of the game, resulting in the death of Kiryu's father figure Shintaro Kazama.
