====Repeaters?====
No. Repeating weapons are beyond the current technological development of the world. However, enchanted firearms and mystical prestige classes that focus onthe use of firearms may circumvent this restriction.

This has some grounding in balance. By introducing firearms that are already more dangerous than most of the standard fighter builds can handle the game is biased towards fighters that can evade getting shot by the first salvo then move in with melee weapons to mop up. By upping the proverbial ante and allowing for widespread use of repeating firearms all melee combat will cease and it'll come down to who can shoot faster and more accurately with out being hit.

That being said, if you want more than a single shot consider carrying a brace of pistols. It worked for Blackbeard.
