Can someone help me understand how a p* gets more range than an aeg? I'm not following too well, how does it work?
A lot of it has to do with the fact that an AEG relies on kinetic energy (spring) to push air out of the barrel via the piston slamming forward. Whereas the P* simply lets the air do the pushing with less moving parts. Not to mention you can fine-tune the amount of airflow to match your barrel volume exactly so you get the same amount of air coming out every single shot, as opposed to playing guesswork with ported and non-ported cylinders for different barrel lengths on AEGs.
I'm sure there are others on here that can give a much better explanation than I can, though.
