Shooter Lag

In the past years that involve shooting we have all notice a type of shooter lag. What I mean by lag is when you have your wheels spinning top speed, you feed about 5 games pieces, the first shot is perfect. But the following all taper off each one getting progressively shorter distance.

Can you install a capacitor? If you can where would I put it and what kind, type? Would it solve the problem or is it a gear ratio thing. I'm trying to solve this issue with the students and it's making me loose sleep at night!

Thanks in advance
