I thought it was a US police thing, because the passenger seat is where the shotgun is commonly holstered.

    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.
