Of course. As mentioned, the effective range is much further than standard hop up on a tightbore.

I'll have to let you know how range compares in a 1J Twist setup versus a high powered tightbore setup.

The statement where "a lower powered gun with the proper accuracy upgrades will outshoot a higher velocity gun with a standard barrel"... is that referring to range only? It's been proven that the higher you increase the velocity of your gun, the greater your shot consistency will spread. Especially if you are using the same weight BBs. It will cost an exponentially larger sum of money to tighten the shot spread to within the range of a properly upgraded low velocity gun. Light weight BBs have a greater tendency to not shoot straight when shot at high velocity.

If it's regarding range only, I believe that statement is false. There's only so far a BB can go before you need extra power to push it further.
