Because the feds used higher caliber rifles

Most officers in the early 30s used .38 specials not .45 calibers. And tommy guns were .45 but apparently they had trouble when shooting the cars. The video I watched said the flathead V8 ford cars were like driving a armored vehicle at the time. I’m guessing when shooting from a considerable distance (over 30 yards) those calibers couldn’t penetrate.
