Well if they bothered to design and build something that large and unwieldy, it'd be far more practical and effective to make it fire from three sets of flywheels in rapid succession than all at once like a "shotgun".

Reason being, power draw on the flywheels is at its highest point after firing a dart and needing to spin back up to full speed. You don't want to triple the size of your power-demand spikes -- you want to spread them out.

So basically, a "flywheel full-auto shotgun" is just a terrible concept. Someone made a really badass springer out of three Roughcut2x4's that prime and fire together, though (look for it on reddit); THAT'S a cool way to "shotgun" a lot of darts at once.
