Sakura Taisen: École de Paris

Sakura Taisen: École de Paris (2003).

The following weapons were used in the OVA Sakura Taisen: École de Paris:

Pistols

FN Model 1910

The FN Model 1910 is used by Paris Prefecture police detective Jim Évian as his main sidearm. The physical features of the pistol (such as the markings), unfortunately, were not shown in the OVA series.

FN Model 1910 .380 ACP.

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 the continent in case of a confirmed demon appearance. Its appearance is a shoutout done by writer Satoru Akahori to Samurai Pizza Cats, one of his previous works.

Submachine Guns

Gabriel

One of the signature weapons of Erica Fontaine in the Sakura Taisen universe, she is armed with 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 as a base.

Bergmann MP18/I "System Schmeisser" - 9x19mm. Some parts of the "Gabriel" are visually based on the MP18.

Erica loads up on the Gabriel, preparing to insert a magazine on the left port of the submachine gun.

Loaded and ready to go.

Erica pulls the bolt of the Gabriel back after the submachine gun is loaded.

Koubu-F submachine gun

Erica's Koubu-F uses a Koubu-F-sized submachine gun as its main weapon as seen in "The City of Love". Like the Gabriel, it has some visual basis on the Bergmann MP18.

Bergmann MP18/I "System Schmeisser" - 9x19mm. Some parts of the Koubu-F's submachine gun are visually based on the MP18.

Erica opens fire with her Koubu-F's submachine gun at a possessed Pawn Blanche.

Sniper Rifles

Arisaka Type 38

The Arisaka Type 38 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.

Arisaka Type 38 rifle - 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka.

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.

Paris Prefecture policemen in formation before they were given the order to fire tear gas-loaded missiles at Lobelia.

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"...

Grenades

Tear Gas Rifle Grenade

Tear Gas Rifle Grenades were used by Paris Prefecture police officers in World War I-era gas masks and anti-heat resistant suits in the sewers of Paris in "The Black Cat and the Bad Girl".

Others
