Barrel length and diameter affect the flight of the bb by giving the bb a greater length to accelerate, therefore increasing FPS, and by stabilizing the bb, so it doesn't wobble as much. (Real bullets, including tank shells, all wobble a little bit after leaving the barrel)
By FPS i mean the speed the bb is moving when exiting the barrel.
A higher FPS bb always has more potential to go farther than a slower bb of the same type.

Grim is still right, FPS is not range.
If you have absolutely no hop-up at all, your rifle would still fire at the normal FPS, it just wouldn't go very far after it went 6-7 inches out of the barrel.

This is irrelevant to how you said

Yes, FPS does equal range. Doesn't have to mean accurate range, but, yes, it does mean range.

FPS is a FACTOR of range but does not allow you to determine the range of your projectile.
