actually a proper hopup is the biggest factor. if your hop is shitty, your range will suck. unless youre being a stickler and saying that something goes further if it's got more force behind it because i cant deny that. what use is more distance if you cant predict where it's goin? from now on, range will mean effective target whacking distance, not distance in general, and for that sir you need a nice hop.
a properly tuned hicapa has ludicrous range thanks to tm's nice hop and barrel unit. pistols also get less wear put on them than aegs so it's safe to assume that a used tm aeg with an old bucking and older style tm hop system (the hicapas is reasonably new) will have less range than a newish hicapa. that doesnt mean it's easier to peg people at distance with it. i found that (with my hicapa) the shots may travel in a straight line but placing said line where you want it to be is rather tough for long shots, and following up a nice shot is a lot harder than just setting an aeg to auto and following the white stream of victory.
as for the original question, if conditions are right you can quite easily hit an unsuspecting target at 70ft with a hicapa, but it being a pistol, you'll find most of your hits will be within 45ft.
