lol explain your logic. It wont lose range or acuracy. in fact acuracy will probaly improve since the air isnt being made turbulant by going around the velocity screw (it helped when I did it to mine). that's all that controls the velocity on a stock gun... just a stupid screw in the way.

by backing out that screw all the way, you allow for a straight path for the air to flow through. unscrewing the stock velocity screw will increase the velocity of the ball, so you turn the rear velocity adjuster down to compensate, which lightens the spring tension, which lessens the amount of force put on the striker, which hits the valve with less velocity releasing less air, and thus using less air to propell the ball the same distance.

Of course it's going to lose pressure, that's the whole point. you drop the pressure down, so you can run with the stock velocity screw all the way out. Once it's out, you adjust it from the rear either adding more or less tension to the drive spring which controls how much air the valve releases when the striker hits it with more or less force.

Im not sure how you think velocity or range factors into this. maybe you should retake physics. a gun chrono'd at 280 fps, is going to shoot the same distance regardless of how it's set up internally.
