Well, it was reasonably accurate out to twelve feet, the long dimension of 
my shop...

   I have no idea, I haven't checked.  I don't think so, though it may help 
some if the paintballs aren't quite as tight.  I am using a piece of 0.680 
ID titanium pipe for a barrel.

   I think the problem is a combination of low pressure and poor flow 
through the valve, which has only 3/16" ports.

Good lord.  I liked John's 275 psi a lot better.  Where the hell am I going 
to find a solenoid valve that can handle 800 psi?
