I don’t know for sure, but heard that the Tommy Gun fired small pellets that didn’t usually penetrate past the muscle tissue. Hard to kill someone with it without hitting them a dozen times. But it had its effect of making everyone scramble - which is basically what a machine gun is used for. Not necessarily for killing but to clear the field and provide cover.

I think they fired 45 ACP I suppose they could have made shot shells for the 45, they make them for 22 cal.
