It functions the same as a single projectile pump action marker, so the performance would be the same as say the Tippmann 68, with the only real difference is it’s styled to resemble a more realistic looking shotgun. Claimed maximum range is 300 feet, but workable accuracy is probably limited to about half that distance. No modifications such as longer barrels exist for this marker, it’s main purpose is to be used by law enforcement for training purposes.
