It all depends on the field you are playing

CQB = Doesnt really matter, even a shitty 200 fps gun will do when shooting in between rooms, however for long hall shooting or in between buildings it might matter.

Outdoor = Hop up is where you thank TM for designing it, without it your bb's will drop after 40 feet or so (Depends if its stock or upgraded)

If its a non windy day and you are shooting a stock gun (270 fps) your bb's will go 100ft and then loose momentum and drop. If its upgraded then 100+ ft is your range. It also is determined by your barrel length and tightness of bore (Long vs Short, Stock Barrel vs Tighter barrel).

Honestly you really need to shoot an airsoft gun before you really get the idea behind hop-up and range of airsoft guns, me telling you or other people telling you wont give you the clear picture.
