Learning to shoot helps too. How do real steel shooters get more range from their guns? They aim higher to compensate for bullet drop. Why have I gotten kills at 150ft with my 365fps MP5 using 0.25g BBs? Because I aimed 2ft over the guys head, fired a quick burst and hit him. Simplest way to increase range is to treat it like something that shoots projectiles. Ever try a pea shooter, blow gun or other? When you shoot at something farther way than normal, lengthening the pea shooter/blowgun and still aiming like it's only 30ft away won't do you much good. Aiming higher to compensate for gravity is the only cheap way to do it. I recently added a new barrel to my MP5, 330mm instead of the stock 229mm, my fps went up 20fps, the range didn't change at all. Then again, I know how to shoot my guns (I get 130ft kills with my G19), so I don't notice these things much anyways, just how the BBs fly.
