I find iron sights with real steel is more effective than iron sights with airsoft, at least you can see the dirt kicking up with real steel.
CQB is pretty easy for aiming in airsoft but ranged shots become harder to make, the further out the target is.
When you start aiming for the 150+ feet and you can’t see the bbs anymore with the naked eye, a scope with a zoom is helpful, also being able to better ID a target is helpful too (is that a guy in a ghillie, or is it a bush? I am colorblind, so being able to pick up movement is really enchanced with magnification because for some reason, no one wears orange in an airsoft game in the woods, go figure. Is that a growth on the side of that tree,or a person poking their head out?), not to mention being able to determine how wind or twigs/leaves are impacting your shots.
I wont even get into when you start aiming for 250 feet or more, you could be missing because of lack of hop, or too much hop, or total loss of momentum, and youd never know it because you can see it.
Is this gun decent at that range? I honestly wasn't expecting even half that for a 'wall gun', but I was looking around and also per your advice, a new barrel (

My Pulse Rifle pretty much peaks out at the 200 feet, I am about to tinker around with a Thompson that has the same exact setup as my Pulse Rifle to see if some ideas that I have will get me some more accuracy and range. I wont confuse my PR for my DMR but it will reach out and touch someone with the right TLC. Also remember I am using a .30/.32 gram bbs, and a magnified optic that I have zeroed for range with a lot of practice.
As far as the items you posted:
-barrel looks good and bucking fine in the 60-70 degree range, make sure the guy wraps the barrel with some electrical or teflon tape, depending on how much room the inner barrel has (mine took electrical iust fine.
-I dont know anything about that SHS motor, SHS makes a good product but I don't know what magnets are in it or what RPM it is. Most shops carry good motors, push come to shove.
-The hop up nub doesn't appear to be a flat hop but I am sure that it could be cut down; I recommend specifying to the guy working on it to go with a flat hop setup and let them chose the nub and modify it and the bucking.[/quote]
I was going to do the barrel/hopup nub/bucking etc mods myself as they seemed pretty simple.
Wrap the entire barrel? why for etc?
RE; motors, doesn't have to be that exact one, but what size etc should I be looking at?
RE; the nub again, I thought it came like that, but I guess not - is there one that does? if not I can easily do that mod myself I suppose after looking up what i'm doing.
thanks again,

The motor needs to be a “short” axle motor , neodymium magnet motor, with around a 30k rpm speed.
As far as the bucking and nub, I know alot of techs customize their nubs and buckings, especially for a flat hop set up. With the complexity of taking this apart to access the hop up and barrel, ai would have a person with higher experience do it, and then I would practice on things like a M4, that are easier to get access to the hop up.
