Heavier BBs period! Once I set my M24 rifle to shoot at 340fps (purpose of being able to use it at a paintball field, urban area), and found that 0.30g BBs would sail out past 300ft (mind you, about a 6ft grouping), but still, I had never seen that type of range out of it even when I was shooting ~500fps......
Another time, I could clear 200ft with my MP5-A5, was shooting about 360fps w/.20g, using 0.28g BBs.
Nutshell, heavier BBs (to a point) will give you much farther accurate range than lighter ones. Best and cheapest upgrades to do to any airsoft gun (including pistols), is to use 0.28g to 0.36g BBs, and tweak your hop up and aiming style to those. Yes, they may fly a bit slower, but they will punch through brush easily as well as give you more range. Nothing is funnier than a guy shooting an upgraded AEG at you from 100ft away, through a bush, and seeing his 0.20g BBs bouncing all over the place from the bush, and getting pissed because he can't hit you, even though you aren't moving.
