I don't know if 67 and 2169 used code to keep the speed of their shooter or some other method. I DO know that 195 used an exorbitantly large wheel so that after every shot, the weight of the wheel would keep it spinning quickly.
Our shooter was a 180 degree circular shooter with an 8" pneumatic wheel direct mounted to a CIM. It takes at least .5-1 seconds to speed back up after pushing a Frisbee through it. I think one way to avoid that might be to decrease the contact time of the Frisbee with the wheel.
