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.

How is a single shot firearm different from a repeating firearm?

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.

Other notable inventors, like Benjamin Tyler Henry, also contributed to the development of repeating mechanisms with rifles such as the Henry rifle in 1860.
