WORK IN PROGRESS
The following weapons were used in the anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Part 1: Phantom Blood
Webley RIC
British police officers in the intro sequence and in Episode 3 ("Youth With Dio") use late-model Webley RIC revolvers. Jonathan Joestar and Robert Speedwagon also commandeer these revolvers.

British police officers fire their revolvers in the OP sequence, "JoJo ~A Fate Determined By His Blood~".

These bullets are rendered somewhat oddly, being shown with a full brass jacket and a dimple on the exposed lead at the base. They may have been partially drawn based on unfired cartridges.
The police officers open fire on Dio. Note the onomatopoeia, a staple of the series.

M1A1 Thompson
The other two hijackers use M1A1 Thompson submachine guns without handguards. Seeing as this scene takes place in 1933, the M1A1 is anachronistic.
