It was a North American Arms 22 revolver.

That sounds plausible. I do know that you can fire those by holding down the trigger and working the hammer.

Which, technically, means you could call them Class 3, if you wanted...

Nope, because they require a distinct mechanical operation for every shot. My 1906 Winchester pump .22 doesn't have a disconnect, so if you hold the trigger back you can empty it as fast as you can pump the slide. (That's pretty darn fast, by the way.)

Using a "Hellfire" or other crank device on a semi-auto is legal because each shot still requires one actuation of the trigger,

Well, I was kind of kidding, as I don't think there's much chance of it ever coming to court, but the trigger thing was the point of the joke. The law mentions a single actuation of the trigger, but says nothing about hammers or slides. And, as you say, by working them you're able to fire multiple rounds with only a single pull of the trigger...
