    I’d been told it was a gangster thing: passenger seat shoots out the window for a drive-by.

        That makes a bit more sense if true. I don’t easily picture 1920s gangsters wielding shotguns for a drive-by.

          The correct answer afaik is stagecoach, but tbf Clyde Barrow did use cut down Browning A5s in robberies. While I don’t have any information on whether or not they were fired from a moving vehicle, it could have happened.
