I believe that you are missing two other pieces of the equation -
1. Gravity - Can't live without it
2. Friction - Every time that the ball is in contact with a surface it will slow down proportionally to the coefficient of friction between the ball surface and whatever it touches.

Adding additional momentum to a ball after it has exited the "shooter" without violating the "shooter definition" rules would be kind of difficult at best.
