it was a different time
the whole "no guns" thing didn't start until the 50s

Still a pretty key aspect of Batman. Would be an n interesting aspect to design around.
having a character who refuses to use guns in a gangster story would be interesting
but also rather difficult to pull off

And that's the point.
Though vanilla batman got around this with tech and boomerangs. Of which neither truly exist in the 20's. Depends on how far you stretch that imagination.

Actually, no. Vanilla Batman HAD a gun. [link]
People tend to forget that, but the original Batman had a gun, occasionally killed criminals, and was mostly an eccentric detective with a dark past. To say that Batman cannot and will not kill is to misunderstand his origins. It would be more accurate to say Batman cannot and will not go against Justice... though what form of justice is up to him.
