The inertia problem can be fixed with a flywheel. The design of a stealth wheel (partially hollow) also makes it easy to mount additional mass right into the shooter itself. And if your problem has anything to do with compliance, I'd say it's likely you have a problem with too much compression...
We were hitting the roof of our building quite easily at full power with blue 4 inch diameter stealth wheels. I don't know the exact number but its 25 to 30 feet of height. Couple that with extreme accuracy (hitting the center of a roof tile many times consecutively) and I'd say stealth wheels are a-ok for shooting.
