The daily said the Paris Judicial Police may launch a probe, and Pippa faces arrest.
"If the evidence points to her involvement, she will be prosecuted. Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation," a source told the daily.
If the gun was real, brandishing it in a public place is punishable by up to seven years in jail for everyone involved, including Pippa.
Even if it was a fake, the jail term is two years.
Pippa was in Paris for a weekend fancy dress party.
