This entry details the rare Treb Chain Rifle, potentially the world's first belt-fed firearm, as explained by Jonathan Ferguson of the Royal Armouries. It covers the rifle's .50 caliber, its unique chain-of-chambers mechanism inspired by revolver actions, and its innovative sealing feature. Despite successful 1859 trials, factors like cost and military requirements led to its non-adoption, with only a few examples surviving.
