A single shot firearm does exactly that. Shoots a single shot. A repeating firearm, or automatic shoots many shots while you only have to pull the trigger once. Do not confuse automatic with semi-automatic, which are guns that fire as fast as you pull the trigger.

A single shot firearm is fairly self explanatory. You fire one round, then the weapon must be reloaded with a new cartridge prior to being able to fire again. A repeating firearm gets a bit more complicated because of the incredible number of variants that fall into the category of "repeaters" but in a nutshell, if a firearm holds more than one cartridge, or can have multiple cylinders loaded (in the case of black powder revolvers) it is considered a repeater. If you can fire more than one round without having to reload the weapon, it "repeats" and is therefore a repeating firearm.
A repeating firearm is one that can fire more than one shot before reloading. Repeaters usually store ammunition in a magazine or belt.
The concept of the repeating firearm was developed over time, but one of the earliest successful designs was created by Samuel Colt in the 1830s with his Colt Paterson revolver. This innovative firearm allowed multiple shots to be fired before needing to reload, revolutionizing personal and military firearms. Other notable inventors, like Benjamin Tyler Henry, also contributed to the development of repeating mechanisms with rifles such as the Henry rifle in 1860.
The answer depends on what is repeating: 0.87777... is different from 0.878787...

Not AFAIK
50-100
Different places on different guns.
No, because repeating decimals never stop repeating, so it would be impossible to have a different number that does not repeat.
from $50 to $150 depending on condition and location.
Yes, of course. Different denominators in the rational equivalent give rise to different lengths of repeating strings.
