Yakuza 0 (Japanese: 龍が如く0 誓いの場所| Ryū ga Gotoku Zero: Chikai no Basho Lit. Like a Dragon 0: The Place of Oath) is a Japanese video game released in March 2015 in Japan, January 2017 in English-speaking regions, and on Microsoft Windows in August 2018. It is a prequel to the Yakuza series, set in December 1988, in Kamurocho and Sotenbori, fictional versions of Tokyo's Kabukicho and Golden Gai, and Osaka's Dotonbori respectively. The game follows a 20-year-old Kazuma Kiryu and 24-year-old Goro Majima as they uncover the mystery of an empty lot in the middle of Kamurocho whose worth has attracted the attention of some of Japan's biggest criminal enterprises. Many of the gun models on this game feature on the later Kiwami titles, including the SIG Pro, which was not actually released in real life until over a decade after this game is set.

The following weapons appear in the video game Yakuza 0:

Handguns

1911-Derived Pistol

Keiji Shibusawa owns a 1911-type pistol. It has an appearance similar to the pictured LDA 7.45, but with different touches, such as a differently-shaped hammer and truncated rear spur.

Beretta 92FS

Masaru Sera uses a Beretta 92FS type pistol. He gives it to Majima in one scene.

Makarov PM

Akira Nishikiyama has a Makarov PM type pistol, as do a number of other Yakuza gangsters. On this game, the grip is black in colour.

Russian Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov

Akira Nishikiyama uses the Makarov PM in an attempt to kill his Kyoudai and save him from Tojo clan torture.

SIG P226/H&K USP

This pistol is used by Jin Oda; he lends it to Kiryu during the car chase sequence. The gun is called the CZ-75 in the game files. This suggests that it may initially have been made to resemble a polymer-framed CZ-75 type pistol.

Heckler & Koch P8 - 9x19mm. Note the reversed safety lever.

SIG Pro

The SIG Pro is used by Daisuke Awano (Riki Takeuchi). As mentioned earlier, the SIG Pro was not introduced until 1999, some 11 years after this game is set. The game's version also features differences such as a vented front slide and wooden grips.

Revolvers

Nambu Model 60

The Nambu Model 60 appears as the "Double Action Revolver." It is the standard issue pistol for Japanese police officers. On this game it is most notable for a corrupt police officer using one to kill Billiken and attempt to murder Nishitani.

Other

Molotov Cocktail

On the "boat raid" scene, a couple of Kashiwagi's men throw Molotov Cocktails against Shibusawa's.
