im sorry cody..
lets start off, all guns shoot the same distance given the same conditions (FPS,Paint-to-barrel, wind, temperature..etc.) that means an angel with 300 fps with shoot as far as a Timmy at 300fps, again given the same conditions. BUT unless u have a flatline thats different...
this also works for accuracy, no gun is more accurate than another if given the same conditions...

Well its pretty much like any other paintball gun: air pushes ball down barrel at 300fps, and from there its just physics. While there are some tricks you can do to give you more distance (i.e. backspin; see Tippman's Flatline barrel), the problem is even if you get it to shoot a paintball an extra 20-30 feet, thats 20-30 more feet of air resistance acting on the ball. The result: bounces. I experienced just this today when a paintball shot out of an A5 with a flatline from all the way across the field bounced right off my mask.
**EDIT**
Damn you IwanaANGEL! You posted right before I was done typing! :P
