Don't try to read too much into the nomenclature (almost certainly mis-)used. He might as well have been commenting on the details of space rocketry engines.
What is a "lead shot pistol?"
That said, that's only what I heard. Don't hang your hat on it.
There are steel pistol rounds.
My local range will magnet check any suspicious rounds.
I have some 9mm ammo loaded with lead shot. I don’t think they will operate the action tho.
I have a lot of .22LR and .22WMR shot shells. The .22 magnums perform surprisingly well. I once shot a cottonmouth with a Ruger single six. It was loaded with WMR shot cartridges and they literally shredded him from around 8 feet away.
Ive never heard of a lead shot pistol. It sounds like someone who didn’t know what they were talking about was trying to describe a 9mm pistol with bullets with lead shot instead of a slug.
What is a “lead shot pistol?”
It means he was acting in an environmentally unfriendly manner, in violation of EU regulations. That’s a crime in the EU.
Typically 9mm bird shot carries 45 grains of #4 bird shot or about 13 pellets.
What is a “lead shot pistol?”
There were some guns in Europe that took 9mm shot cartridges.
They were mostly small shotguns, but Flobert made some 9mm rimfire pistols, and there may have been some others, mostly single shots.
I believe they are generally unregulated in France, as antiques.

More obtuse/opaque nomenclature from the press.
It really wouldn’t be that hard for these folks to cultivate a knowledgeable source to help them get it right / not look like fools. I can only conclude they just don’t care, as the general class of MSM jouralistas get it wrong so consistently.
It means that this dead TERRORIST will now be tried for, ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ for using LEAD shot - which is destroying our ozone layer...or something or other - versus being tried post-humus as a Muslim Terrorist.
Try to keep up! ;)
Maybe something like this:

Not a firearm, an air gun, but 67 grain round ball at 700 fps got to hurt.
I have read several descriptions. I has been called a revolver, a pellet gun, a revolver that shoots 9mm bird shot cartridges, a lead shot pistol.
It could be a pellet gun revolver that shoots .177 pellets.
It could be an air gun.
It could be a look alike revolver that shoots pellets.
We may never know. The French are not good at posting pictures of crime guns.
I read the bullets were filled with lead shot. Usually a thin plastic covering encases the lead shot. Not very lethal unless at an extremely close range to a vital organ.

Should have been killed at birth. islams like this are far too prolific and the need to sterilize islam nests needs expedited.
When the incident was over, all involved officers went to a whisky bar.
if it’s not a pellet gun there are these:

The Glaser Safety Slug® was designed in 1974 in response to the possibility of having to use a handgun on an airplane by the Sky Marshals . The concerns at that time were over penetration on soft tissue and ricochets on hard surfaces and possible excess penetration. In 2002, we purchased the company, because we knew that Safety Safety-Slug-family-boxes2 Slug would be a perfect compliment to the COR®BON family of products and a great home defense round.With a bit of engineering enhancement, today, Glaser® offers this excellent performing self-defense round for civilian use. It’s the perfect round for apartment complexes, and close quarter security areas such as; courthouses, hospitals, amusement parks.

“Garden guns” sold in Europe fire these rounds.
“One of France’s main airports was evacuated and flights disrupted for hours Saturday after a man wrestled a soldier to the ground and snatched her automatic rifle...”
What’s apparent in this sentence? H-E-R. A woman.
Women in the military should be typing memos, organizing files and not on the frontline. Women don’t have the physical strength to fight a man. A man will win against a female probably 99% of the time.
Talk about a bad terrorist! He couldn’t kill anyone while shooting in a bar??? Allah must be scraping the bottom of the barrel these days.
Rat shot at pointblank range is the original franable round and will kill.
