That's going to be a tall order, considering the lot of use have sci-fi in our profiles

And there is the fact that while primarily magical, Nanoha is also inescapably sci-fi. Heck, Nanoha once wielded a high-mega launcher-like weapon that looked like something straight out of Gundam or Eva in the manga. And of course, what would you call the cyborgs and mecha?

Besides, it's still a magical weapon as far as I can see, just with a far more technical explanation than your usual magical weapon.

Also, I'm not sure about your gripes when you have Tais, Yui and the Eva system that's essentially sci-fi in presentation.
I think that Guilty Gear universe is one of those that managed to balance and blend science-fiction and fantasy very well.

An older example would be Hawkmoon's world by Michael Moorcock with its fantasy, low sci-fi tech that kicked ass whenyou find out that;
