The motor stays the same. It is the addition of the flywheel that matters.

Let's say that the wheel is spinning at 600 rpms, and declines to 550 rpms after a shot. You have to wait for the wheel to spin back up to speed.

After adding the flywheel, the 600 rpms delines to 590 rpms after a shot. The motor then goes to 100% to speed back up to 600 rpms. You can then shoot as fast as the motor can deliver energy to the system.
