As the Liberator pistol of WW2 fame demonstrated, all that one needs is a firearm that can fire reliably ONCE, and that can lead to the acquisition of additional (and far higher quality) firearms and ammunition
But a little redundancy is nice. Double-barrelled designs are available, or one can simply build a pair of single shot wapons and carry one in each hand.
