Constant-force springs

Our team is thinking about using some constant-force springs for our shooter. We are curious if you can double the springs up on the same axle.

To clarify, we are wondering if it is possible to open two springs, place them on top of one another and then let them roll into one package. Has anyone ever done this? How does it work if you have? Can you double the force in almost the same space as one spring?

Thanks in advance.
