Paris Prefecture police detective Jim Évian makes an arrest after he catches Lobelia Carlini thanks to Erica's "help" in "Flowers at Daybreak".

Detective Évian and a few uniformed Paris Prefecture police officers make a visual inspection of the street to see Erica knocked out in the garbage in the same episode.

Revolvers

Revolver Cannon

The revolver cannon makes an appearance at the end of "The City of Love", hidden underneath the Arc de Triomphe. In the Sakura Taisen 3 game, it's stated that the cannon is used as a long-range device to launch Kobus and supplies throughout continental Europe in situations where there is a need to send them to far-flung countries in case of a confirmed demon appearance. Its appearance is a shoutout done by write Satoru Akahori to Samurai Pizza Cats, one of his previous works.

Submachine Guns

Gabriel

The signature weapon of Erica Fontaine in the Sakura Taisen universe, one of her main weapons is the Gabriel submachine gun. It's only seen in the episode "Flowers at Daybreak". It appears to be visually based partially on the Bergmann MP18.

Sniper Rifles

M1903 Springfield

The M1903 Springfield was used by Norimichi Sakomizu, Japanese ambassador to France, in "The Black Cat and the Bad Girl" as part of the plan to forcibly recruit Lobelia into the Groupe Fleur de Paris. It appears to have a Unertl-like scope mounted on its receiver with a crosshair-type reticle. Ambassador Sakomizu is shown to be a crack shot, using the rifle to fire a special anti-spirit energy bullet in order to paralyze Lobelia before Paris Prefecture policemen could subdue her.

Springfield M1903 Transitional (pre-WW2) issue - .30-06.

Loading the anti-spirit energy bullet into the chamber.

Pulling the bolt back.

Aiming the mounted riflescope.

The crosshair-type reticle would most likely be anachronistic, since it was not used in the pre-World War II years.

With a closer look, it appears that the scope's external features looks too anachronistic as well.

Ambassador Sakomizu fires the scoped rifle at a tired Lobelia.

Rocket Launchers

M72 LAW

The M72 LAW makes an anachronistic appearance in the "The Black Cat and the Bad Girl" at the hands of Paris Prefecture police officers as part of a plan launched by Isabel "Grand-Mère" Lilac to forcibly recruit Lobelia into the Groupe Fluer de Paris.

M72 LAW with rocket - 66mm.

The anachronistic M72s as they are fired to launch tear gas missiles at Lobelia. Makes you wonder if someone from the future gave those rocket launchers to the Préfecture de police de Paris to assist the "Grand-Mère"...
