Has a POTUS ever made an unconstitutional EO before? I don't understand how an EO is enforced. It's not law so how does that work?

EOs are enforced through the powers of the Executive branch. That can be in how they process paperwork, administer taxes and fees and use federal law enforcement powers. He doesn't even have to prosecute anyone -- just having EPA or OSHA issue regulations regarding ammunition storage would have a major disruptive effect.

So there's no reason he couldn't issue an EO that says all semi auto now fall under FA NFA rules.

Oh, there'd be a legal challenge but in the meantime, BATFE would be processing according to the new EO unless/until someone convinces a federal court to intervene. I'm more worried about more subtle EOs that people will think is harmless because they're uninformed or don't think the problem all the way through. He's a lawyer -- expect him to be devious.

that EO would contradict existing law from the Legislative branch so he could not issue it (and expect it to be enforced)
