OK, I think I've figured out that string...It's a 'safety' to aim the rack skyward while he loads all 10 magazines and c0cks the 10 hammers...So he doesn't accidentally shoot someone on the ground...
He doesn't load 10 magazines and c0cks 10 hammers. He only inserts 10 clips strips them in and pulls them out. at the last round the bolt stays open and the hammer c0cked. taking out the emty clip closes the bolt and chambers the 1st round.

By the way. This could be from the first Balkan war in 1912.
