The following weapons appear in the video game Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth:

The Smith & Wesson 3913 from the Judgment games, can be seen in the hands of several characters, one particular example being crooked cop Roman Reynolds.
Revolvers
The Colt 1861 Navy from Like a Dragon: Ishin! / Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin! returns, modified, as the "Wasteland Revolver", and can be purchased from shops.
Remington 1875
This is probably the first ever appearance of this gun in any Yakuza game. It can be found at Bullet Hell, as the "Antique Revolver".
Single Action Army
A heavily customized SAA appears to be available at Bullet Hell as the "Modern Revolver".
Nambu Model 60/Smith & Wesson Model 36
The Nambu Model 60 and Smith & Wesson Model 36 hybrid, another staple gun of the series is unsurprisingly present in this entry of the franchise.
Smith & Wesson Model 10 hybrids
Smith & Wesson Model 10/19 hybrid
The Smith & Wesson Model 10/19 hybrid from Yakuza 4, having not appeared in another Yakuza game until now.
A modified version of it can be found at Bullet Hell, as the "Cherry Boy".
Smith & Wesson Model 10/Colt Detective Special hybrid
The other hybrid gun,the hybrid of a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with the barrel and handgrips from a third-gen Colt Detective Special. It also features a handgrip adaptor, returns from Judgment and Yakuza: Like a dragon, which in turn, is an updated model all the way from Yakuza 4
Both of these revolvers can be seen hung at Revolve Bar:
Submachine Guns
MAC-10/MP9 hybrid
The infamous Kiwami Machine Gun, the MAC-10/Brügger & Thomet MP9 hybrid. Can be seen in the gun store "Bullet Hell".
Drum magazine SMG
A gun that resembles the Colt 1921A Thompson is used by a few characters, notably early boss Roman Reynolds, and as part of the arsenal of other enemy combatants with similar movesets. The in-game version is somewhat bulkier and more metallic-looking.
Uzi/MP7 hybrid
A new submachine gun hybrid, which appears to be based on the IMI Uzi with external elements similar to the MP7 is seen used by both Palekanian cultists and is dual wielded by the Overseer.
Shotguns
Remington Model 870
The Remington Model 870 is seen in the hands of various Barracuda members. It is also seen used by Kiryu's old friend Makoto Date in his Poundmate summon attack, Do or Dive, albeit with a scope for some reason, and uses it as a sniper rifle (!).
Over and under coach gun
The over and under coach gun from Yakuza 5 is seen used by various "Sujimon" (enemies).
Futuristic shotgun
A double barrel shotgun that looks straight out of Binary Domain. Surprisingly, it's actually a new model. It is used by the Boomstick Banneret.
Rifles
AK-type rifle
The AK-47-derived rifle from Binary Domain is another of the many firearms reused in the game. It can be seen in the hands of Barracuda members.
Remington 700
The Remington 700 from previous Yakuza games, which was a Remington M24A2 SWS with some alterations.
AR-10 similar looking rifle
The infamous AR-10-like rifle is once again, a prop in gun stores.
Howa Type 89
Kiryu sees a poster for a zombie move, and there is a gun that looks similar to a Howa Type 89. The model is likely taken from Yakuza: Dead Souls.
Accuracy International AS50
When Kiryu sees the poster, he remembers a dream where Kamurocho was infested by zombies, and had to shoot a very large gun. That gun was the Accuracy International AS50.
Grenades
Incendiary Grenade
The grenade model that originated from Binary Domain and seen in other Yakuza games also makes an appearance. This time, it's an incendiary grenade, which is strange considering that it is a fragmentation grenade in its previous iterations in the series. There is a modified version available, but it has no changes in appearance or function.
Model 7290 Flash Bang
This weapon originated from Yakuza: Dead Souls. It has a modified variant, but like the incendiary grenade, it's just one that does more damage with no change in form or function.
Other
Handheld M134 Minigun
A standard weapon common to most Yakuza/Like A Dragon games, this shows up both as a prop and used by a few characters in an active role.
Panzerfaust 3
The Panzerfaust 3-inspired model from Binary Domain with the warhead removed, is once again available for purchase.
Flamethrower
A weird-looking flamethrower can be seen to be used by Barracuda members. Various other Sujimon also use this type of flamethrower, which operates on a compressed air canister-type ejection model. Even more curiously, some models emit ice instead of fire. The flavor text on some Sujimon descriptions indicates it may be a heavily modified leafblower reworked into a flame/ice thrower.
"Bowgun"
The crossbows, sorry, "bowguns" return as standard Geomijul weaponry. According to Seonhee's moveset, these bowguns have "gatling" functionality, which makes them semi-automatic.
Coilgun
A weapon that resembles a coilgun can be seen in the "Essence of High Noon" heat action.
