For 2, based on the Supreme Court's recent very flawed ruling on bump stocks, I would assume you could make a mechanically actuated trigger that lifts itself up each round fired in such a way if you're still putting pressure it will fire again. That's how a bump stock works. I'm curious how far that could be pushed. Can you have a motor repeatedly pull the trigger? I assume probably not, but it's not much different than a bump stock.

What you're describing is a "reset trigger," more or less, and they are indeed legal.

You could also just make a crank operated gun. Those are legal, too. The key is you have to keep turning the crank to keep firing. Your continued action is necessary.

Forced reset triggers are illegal per ATF.

There are cranks that you can add to an AR-15 pattern rifle to make them into a Gatling type operation. I think some are "universal", but are designed to work on the AR.
