One shot for each pull of the trigger. The trigger does not cock the hammer.

The single-action trigger performs only the one action of releasing the hammer to fire the bullet. The hammer must be cocked for this to occurr.
Single action means the trigger only performs a single action; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. The hammer on a single action gun must be cocked before the gun can be fired.

If you are asking about the Crosman 3756. Single action is, you pull the trigger and Hammer pulls back and fires. All in one action. OR in double action you pull the hammer back and then pull the trigger to fire the gun. The gun can be fired either way single or double. Target shooters like to use the gun in double action, this removes some of the pressure on the trigger by pulling the hammer back manually, its easier to release the hammer with the trigger already cocked. You can get a better aim in this way. Pulling the trigger in single action causes you pull down with the gun and off your target..

Early revolvers were single action- you had to cock the hammer manually, then pull the trigger. An example would be the Colt Peacemaker. A double action revolver (such as a S&W 357 magnum- Mdl 66) can be fired by pulling the trigger. Trigger pull, by itself, will cause the hammer to rise and fall. OR- the hammer may be cocked, and then the trigger pulled. A "DAO" or double action only, the hammer cannot be cocked, and the gun must be fired by pulling the trigger.
Both! You can cock the hammer and pull trigger for single action. Or, for double action just pull the trigger straight through.
For the first shot, a single action auto, like the 1911A1 .45 auto, must have the hammer cocked manually. A double action auto, like the P38 can be fired by pulling the trigger without cocking the hammer. Trigger pull alone causes hammer to rise and fall.
My single is a model 948E but I think the 940E is the same assemble
