More or less.
Depending on your test conditions you can maybe get more or less out of that barrel + hop rubber kit.
The intention of using such a unit was for indoor use in shooting competitions. Not outdoors where things like wind and stuff disrupt the bb's flight path. Thus, i didn't feel the need to invest in seperate hop up parts like a cool rubber or crazy bore barrel that will get me those results. Competitors overseas don't really use their hop up's either. I thought I'd be a wanna be with this kind of unit installed. lol.
I don't really play much anyways, anymore. But when I used to run in competitions, they were never really above the 60ft range. So I tuned it to that.
Useless is such a strong word. I felt that one, TC. lol.
If I really wanted to I can switch that whole slide unit to a set up useable for whatever condition I am in. Or to meet your criteria to make it "non-useless". But I don;t see the need to do any of that as this gun does not seem to match your style of play.
But 50 ft...
I was happy with it. Anything further out than that, I just switch my set ups if i feel it warrants it. Or to another gun on my person, whether primary or sub. if i ever play ever again...like ever...
