You got the model name wrong.
It is a Josselyn " Chain gun". There is a big difference.
And, did you even google your answer?

Your answer was NOT correct.

Calm down, it's all good. I imagine it's called a Chain Gun because the loading belt looks like a bike chain?

I'm calm. That is the official name for it. Its inventor named it so in 1866.

I made a mistake. The inventor did not name it a chain gun or anything else.

My sincere apoligies. It is rather a common name given to this very specific handgun.
Having said so, in my opininon it is hard to define this handgun as a revolver as it lacks a cylinder.
Please forgive my interruption.

Yeah a chain gun if you're riding a horse and not a C130 gunship.
