Some general designs on what you plan to do would help us help you.

You can go for a cloud or vortex BBMG (typical rate of fire 50-150 BBs per second) and attach the rotating barrels to that.

A gravity feed mechanism like a Gatling gun perhaps? http://science.howstuffworks.com/machine-gun4.htm

QEV - Usually barrel sealing.
