Like many of the early gangster movies, real machine gun fire is used to create the bullet damage in walls, including scenes with main characters ducking gunfire. This was the age before the extensive use of squibs to simulate gunfire. In the early days, a man with a machine gun loaded with live ammo would stand off camera and shoot the real bullets at the actors. In every case, the man wielding the guns off camera had extensive gun training (usually military) in order to ensure accuracy and safety.
