repeaters
Multi-shot firearms, perhaps
Repeaters are things or people that repeat.
In education, a repeater is a student who takes a course or grade level again after failing.
In electronics, a repeater is a device that receives and retransmits a signal, extending its range—common in radio communications and network infrastructure.
Repeating firearms, which can fire multiple shots without reloading, are sometimes called repeaters.
A watch or clock that chimes on demand is also a repeater.
