Back in the old days of muskets and lead bullets you were more likely to die from lead poisoning or infection than the actual shot itself. So it makes sense it would take multiple shots from something like good ol' Mer has, but she's also a crack shot and blew that fishback out of the water (haha, get it?). Add to the fact you're hitting a moving target and it's trying to hit you back, well.
That being said, we don't know what sort of machinery machinists are going to cook up. For instance, if we get regular revolvers then I'd say the above applies, but, then you get into adding aether to it and all the other fancy things in Eorzea. So it may not be that we have muskets in the old days, but we're probably going to see something more aether enhanced than straight-up guns. Not to mention the -other- toys and gadgets they'll be throwing around.
So based off what we know, it's hard to say how 'deadly' they'll be. I'm sure they'll hurt just as badly as everything else, though!
