It's totally do-able with the 6-barrel gun you have.not all of those guns are my work,
and the geared one is just an example.
most of my builds use eliments from different units to end up with a final
resin cast or machined Aluminum display gun.
You can even put 2 of each color (bluray, red, and green) in there for pretty cheap.
The biggest thing would be machining (aluminum or brass) heat-sinks that fit pre-made modules (12mm-diam hole in the center) that are machined perfectly to have all the beams aligned parallel, and getting the right power-ratio for each (if using different colors).
You probably want to go with 100mW bluray, 200mW red, and 30mW green.
Then you have to use the rest of the space in the gun handle for power supplies.
If you get pre-built modules using rckstr drivers like you linked to above, you would need a bunch of 9V batteries to power them. You may be able to purchase pre-made modules (with flexdrives) that only require 3V.
So, you would still need 18V of power in the handle, split to 6x 3V (for the 6 modules).
You can build the 100mW bluray ones for about $35 each.
You can build the 200mW red ones for about $30 each.
You can buy 30mW green modules for about $15 each. -Link-

Or, if you wanted 10x 5mW red lasers in there (would still look good with smoke in the air) you could get all 10 of them for only $25. -link-
