   I believe the Louvre is in France, not the UK. What do French police   
   use?

   Correction: The police do not use Dum Dum like bullets. A Dum Dum was   
   designed to break apart on impact so as to maximise damage and make   
   treatment as difficult as possible.  Expanding ammo might have simply an all   
   lead bullet or one with an exposed lead tip that will cause it to expand and   
   minimise over penetration to reduce risk of injury to innocent people on the   
   other side of the criminal from the shooter.
