Instead if a bb, which requires a hopup and is hard to shoot at any distance, make a bullet shaped plastic pellet propelled by air in a rifled barrel. That should outshoot an airsoft gun with hardly any extra damage to its victim.

It needs a grenade launcher that actually fires shells and not just bbs in a shotgun effect. It needs more shotguns, and variety of shells as mentioned. I think personally they need to find someway to get stock guns to push about 300 foot accuracy and modded 500 feet as this would bring a new level of combat to the game, however this would be hard to do without using heavier bbs at a high velocity, thus making it unsafe.

The grenade shell would be cool, but I don't see it being legal at many fields because of how fast it would have to go to have any distance. And I feel Like extreme distance like that is possible you would just have to completely re-design the airsoft gun.
Or if you could make a hop up that adjust side to side and up and down. Then you could make bbs have no curve?
Actually, the PDI hop up for L96 rifles allows for side to side adjustment of the bbs. Pretty simple design and very effective. I had one in my L96 and although it was a pain to dial in it worked quite well. If someone could make one for AEG's I could see the benefit.
Some of the ideas presented here have been done. Hakkotsu has made an airsoft mortar, but it has been banned at many fields here in Florida due to safety concerns. The shells are made of a hard plastic, and concerns of people getting hit with them are the reason for the ban.
TAG Engineering (a Russian airsoft company) has made 40mm grenades that do fire a projectile.They make 4 different shells,one holds a powder that marks the target when it hits,another acts like a flash bang distraction device.The third is a smoke grenade and the forth is a practice round.They have an astounding range,in the neighborhood of 100 yards.The projectiles are not reusable,they are made of a Styrofoam like material and crush on impact,but the canister that holds the propelling gas charge is.The inside of the canister is rifled, and this gives these shells their incredible range.The shells are relatively inexpensive,but the canisters run around $68.00 each. I've seen these on the ICS website and TAG Engineering sells them on their site as well.
