Some old shooter games were "button pounders" shooting exactly 1 bullet per button press, and could fire practically as fast as the button is pressed. These games were "great" for inducing repetitive-stress injures in your hands.
Auto-fire is just an oscillator circuit in the joystick/gamepad that sends out a stream of pulses on the button signal line, so you can hold down auto-fire and it sends pulses for you. Some auto-fire joysticks had a row of auto-fire buttons for slow/medium/fast pulse rates.
Auto-fire needs to get power from somewhere, and this may come from an power wire not normally used in a joystick, or is parasitically pulled from another source, or even a separate battery holder.
