I'm not a cannon designer but... why the fuck would you have separate barrels? Particularly when the timing is... sort of a big deal? Wasn't grapeshot already a thing? Couldn't you have packed the balls and chain into something that would fit the barrel?
Not just that, but chain shot and bar shot were already things.
