I think top teams will get to a dozen per second, absolutely. Multiple ways to accomplish this shooting task this year - if the way you have in mind can't do it, think outside the box a little.

This isn't 2016 - volume and accuracy are tradeoffs where the right answer very well may be on the side of volume. Turreted shooter in 2009 could be more accurate than dumpers, but dumpers certainly were the more dominant design in general that year. This year's game has five times as many game pieces as 2009!
