Should have counted myself rather than just going with what the site said, it has
eight cylinders for 48 rounds. And since it's percussion, loading it must have been quite a project in itself.
And the emperor of weird high-cap 18something guns, the Guycot, is another chain rifle.
Doesn't look like much? Look inside.
These were built with capacities of up to
100 rounds (this one is 100, apparently) in a chain that filled the entire inside of the weapon including the stock, using very short ball rounds (similar to the Volcanic bullet, hence there being nothing resembling an extractor) which were inserted into cups in the chain through a hole in the top of the rifle.
The whole nightmare had an inner and outer barrel and a very thin firing pin which struck through the base of the cup. Everything was operated by the trigger (including retracting the inner barrel to form a gas-tight seal) which I guess would make this the world's first crew-served rifle. Even better, in order to load it you had to use a firing pin disconnect since the only way to advance the chain was pulling the trigger. And since this was using a Rocket Ball / Volcanic type round, you'd be looking at a rifle with the ballistics of a pocket pistol. Strangely, it didn't catch on.
