Needs a spur on the hammer.
That way you can fan it and use the recoil to lift the barrel to the target.

Since. the OP didn't bother to identify it (BAD OP! Go to your room! 
) a bit of digging was necessary to discover that it was designed by Joseph Enouy. Here's a link to an article on the monster.

Seems to me that a fellow would have bought that more to entertain and impress his visitors with, than as a practical attempt at shooting iron.
No TV or Radio. Having a variety of 'curiosities' to show off was part of being an interesting host.

That, or somebody just wanted to show it could be done. At the time it was made, a 48 shot revolver would have been a jaw-dropping revelation even if it wasn't practical.
Yeah, some of the coolest stuff that makes it in to collections, is the stuff that is least practical and hardly successful from a sales perspective.
Guys had a LOT of ideas about what constituted a better mousetrap, and the Patent Office required a physical model for a very long time, when you went to file for Patent protection.
Practicality was not always first and foremost in the minds of those with a pet project, though i was probably much more so to the potential customers.
