I saw something where the idea was that by 11th level, a gunslinger (Pistolero Archetype) could get off 10 shots on his turn. This is using two double barreled pistols, and from what I can see, is fine, except I can't for the life of me figure out how he is getting free action reloads!
There is a Deed at 11th level that allows you to reload a single barrel as a free action, but thats the best I can find.

Alchemical cartridge and rapid reload both reduce the time it takes to reload a barrel.
Using a pistol is also key, as longarms don't actually get reduced to that level easily.

You need the Musket Master archetype to get to a free action reload with 2-handed fire-arms, right?
Ah, I forgot about the alc. cartridges! Thanks! And that is correct, Green Smashomancer (so thats what the hulks class is in Pathfinder!)

Your correct, yes. Musket Master gets rapid reload and a deed to reload 2 handed fire arms as though they're one handed... at 3rd level.
That's ahh, out of dip range at least?
Advanced firearms + rapid reload = free action
Or use simple firearms + alchemical cartridges + rapid reload = free action (but high risk of it exploding in your own face)
In my book it dosent seems like the rapid reload does anything for advanced firearms.
It says"Benefit: The time required for you to reload your chosen type of weapon is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light crossbow), a move action (for heavy crossbow or one-handed firearm), or a standard action (two-handed firearm). Reloading a crossbow or firearm still provokes attacks of opportunity.
If you have selected this feat for a hand crossbow or light crossbow, you may fire that weapon as many times in a full-attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow."
It is most likely not on purpose but it is in the book.

That's because "Firearms" is the overall class of weapons; it's split into Early Firearms (muskets, pepperbox pistols, etc.) and Advanced Firearms (rifles, revolvers, etc.).
