I have same joystick and i don't understand what You mean about "no autofire"? Left switch on side with cable is autofire on/off, but fire (whatever type is) is only active when You push left button. It's more comfortable and logic than "permanent autofire" which You must switch off to stop fire.

N.B. Right switch is to select right button as independent 2nd fire button or just "cloned" 1st fire.
Auto-Fire or enhanced auto-fire means (for me at least) fire without pressing the button, which is always better for games like Turrican or R-Type. Then you can use normal fire and the secondary fire mode (additonally the button holding = Turrican Laser, R-Type wave cannon). With permanent fire, by holding the button all the time, you can't. The Competiton Pro Extra or Star models had auto-fire, plus you could use the secondary fire mode too.
