You can modify for knives for darts, all that matters is that it can fit into the chamber
Returning Weapon still wouldn't work if you're using Catapult to launch whatever item it is, since Catapult does not make a ranged attack
Returning Weapon
Item: A simple or martial weapon with the thrown property
This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and it returns to the wielder’s hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack.

Thats a good point, however, most DMs would probably count this as a ranged attack, as it attacks at a range, but I will continue to think about this and a possible solution
That's probably unwise; I feel like there's a lot of game balance stuff in 5e that depends on maintaining the distinction between attacks and other non-attack things that deal damage.

You might be overestimating how many DMs will let you go against RAW and RAI to cheese more DPR.
Based on TSAR's.
1. Obtain Ring of Spell Storing, the more the better
2. Get wizard or sorcerer to infuse all rings with Catapult, full to the brim
3. Make a container and put homunculus servant in the back with the rings, and mount it on your wrist (https://imgur.com/a/KRQQ2de)
4. Make the homunculus ready their action so that when they see a dart, cast Catapult on it
5. Infuse a dart with Returning Weapon, aim, and drop it in
Congrats! You now have a 3d8 missile launcher that can be used as a bonus action! At level 3!

This also counts on getting a Rare magic item by 3rd level. I'd call that a flaw in the plan all its own.
And if you could get that particular Rare item at 3rd level I'm not sure this trick is the best use for it.
