These people are idiots.
The ONLY, and I mean ONLY reason a BB goes further than 80ft is solely because of the backspin on it creating an airfoil that fights against gravity.
No backspin, no airfoil, no forces counter gravity, no extra range.

Not only does side spin not help range at all, but at low velocities it will have the same effect as backspin. You'll have a sideways magnus effect that will simply veer off all your rounds to one side.

You look at real guns, rifling doesn't help the trajectory or range at all, it only increases accuracy.
