Like A Dragon (JP: 龍が如く 劇場版 Ryū ga Gotoku Gekijōban) is a 2007 live-action spinoff of the Yakuza videogame series. The plot is loosely based on the original Yakuza game, in the title's staple location of Kamurocho (a fictional version of Tokyo's Kabukicho red-light district). However, whilst the game is set over the course of several days in December, this film is set on one hot summer night.
The following weapons were used in the film Like A Dragon:

Handguns

.38 Special revolver

As can be seen in the following screenshot, there are a couple of dead yakuza men with what appear to be .38 Special revolvers, likely either Colt Detective Specials or Nambu Model 60s.

Shotguns

Franchi SPAS 12

This shotgun is seen in the hands of character Kazuma Kiryu (Kazuki Kitamura). The sheen from this weapon suggests that it is a plastic airsoft derivative, likely the Tokyo Marui Spring version.

Remington M870

Character Goro Majima (Goro Kishitani) uses this shotgun in various parts of the film. The wood foregrip suggests that this is a wood-stocked version that was retrofitted with a pistol grip. Also, the barrel appears to have been shortened slightly. Again, this appears to be a plastic airsoft gun, most likely the Tokyo Marui gas shotgun.
