Two guns with properly adjusted hop-ups and the same length barrel. The one with a higher FPS will shoot farther.

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.
