We have a very low inertia shooter driven by one CIM with about 1.5 reduction, and we don't have any trouble with shooter speed dropping when it shoots out 5 balls in rapid succession on full speed. We do notice that the motor slows down a bit when we have the speed reduced for shorter range, but I think if we get a speed sensor on the shooter wheel and set up a feedback loop to keep speed constant, it will be fine.

Very nice shooter wheels! what's the weight?
