My question is this, how many rounds can be shot out of an AR with a bump Stock before the barrel becomes so hot it is deformed or so hot it cooks one off in the chamber? I know after shooting a 30 round mag you cannot touch the barrel.

Generally going to be magazine capacity without much issue - recall the AR-15 is based off a military assault rifle design. Now, are you going to do better in the civilian market with an H-Bar? Sure. A good rule of thumb is the maximum sustained ROF for the platform - 12 to 15 rounds per minute is the most you can sustain over time - meaning you can get by with a few bursts of 3, 5, 7, 10 or so - a mag dump (because the barrel will get a break while you're changing), but if you pursue the weapons cyclical rate of fire - not just the barrel, but the gas system, everything about the gun will start to break down under this abuse.

You would only get 10 or so minutes of performance at burst rate, maybe - if all goes well and the water doesn't rise, probably just a few minutes, if that at maximum cyclical rate of fire (which for the platform could be 750 to, maybe, 900 rounds per minute under ideal circumstances).
