Firearm Properties
Firearms are an exotic ranged weapon and require special training represented though having proficiency in Weapon:Firearms using a firearm without proficiency follows the same rules as using any other weapon without proficiency. Ammunition. You can use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a ranged Attack only if you have Ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition. Drawing the Ammunition from a Quiver, case, or other container is part of the Attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended Ammunition by taking a minute to Search the battlefield. If you use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a melee Attack, you treat the weapon as an Improvised Weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section). Exploit. When you land a critical hit with this weapon it roll three times the normal damage dice instead double. Unwieldy. When you critically fail with an attack using this weapon, in addition to fumbling you hit yourself with the attack. Reload (x).

One-handed weapons do not require a free hand to reload per the Ammunition property. Spray Fire. A weapon that has the spray fire property can make a normal single-target attack, or it can spray a 10-foot-cube area within normal range with multiple shots.
