That probably worked for the Trapdoor if you were firing prone from the grass, or from a trench, or from a protected position in the rocks. You could reload it while waiting for the smoke to clear. Not as fast as just holding a few cartridges between your fingers.

"A Better Mouse-Trap"? ... Not really.
It was pretty much tried and found to be of dubious value.
Still, a rare picture of rare items!
