Alchemers- Not that great?

This might be just me buuut...
Does anybody ever feel like, or, rather, just know the alchemer line's gun range is somewhat limited? Is this a bug? The bullet stops a good few blocks away, but it sorta defeats the purpose of a gun being a long range option, doesn't it?
And I guess this might just be empty sound to everyone else, but what're you guys opinions on the alchemer line bullet speed? I think one of the better ways to encourage more gunners is to increase the bullet speed ( not to antigua levels though ) and increase the range of the bullets.
I believe the damage and its learning curve is fine.
What do you guys think?

Whoops, i was tired writing this, lol.
But yeah, I suppose it would be a little bit powerful it they both got buffed, but what if anything, I would like to at least the range of the normal attacks slightly buffed, and the bullet speed slightly buffed as well.

I've been able to take out
I've been able to take out mobs with alchemers in PvE, annihilate AT trash in LD without taking a single hit, and can one hit certain enemies with the charge.
PvE: The ricochets are excellent for mobs. Not the wlrst weapon by far, but outclassed in certain situations.
PvP: The bullet speed allows you the unique ability to lead shoot and reposition yourself simultaneously, while not being so slow that the enemy can react themselves (pulsar speed).
Basically, alchemers are great. Umbra and Nova are superior to status though.

Increased bullet speed and range? If you want those get an antigua or an autogun.
Drivers are alrdy strong af.
Readers may misunderstand your thread from the title. You're not really arguing that alchemers are weak. You're arguing that (A) the range is too short and (B) the bullet speed is too slow.
Buffing the bullet speed would help players land ricochets better on fast-moving targets. So (B) seems like it would be a bigger buff than (A). As a fan of alchemers, I'd like that. But I worry that it would make alchemers too powerful. Buffing both (A) and (B) would certainly make them too powerful.
