Oh dear I guess this is gonna get messy

Ist physics is gonna creep in then Baca and Hotpoint will hijack the thread (if it hasn't been moved before ;) )

Joe the answer is basically all markers will fire the same distance (all been covered before and in greater detail) for the same FPS setting so go with what you feel.

Next Joe this question should be in the annoucements and queries section not in tournament...just so you know cos Baca will move it (but then he is currently in nice cow mood so you may get lucky)

Oh $100 won't buy the marker though it may buy 1 or poss 2 upgrades
Best way to spend a $100 would be to get a big pack to hold all the paint a back guy needs ;)

Joe Bob, you're going to have some extreme difficulty with trying to find a gun for under $100. Look at Spyders, JT Excellerators, Piranhas, Tippmanns, that's about all you'll find near that price range. And I'll take up the physics thing, all guns shoot the same distance provided their shooting at the same velocity, which leaves your accuracy to shot to shot consistency. There are a bazillion factors which will affect where exactly your balls end up, so basically all you can do is get good paint, get a good paint to barrel match, and get a good compressed air system for your gun. At $100 you'll be looking at blowback-style guns which have a small kick, therefore giving you a less stable shooting platform, which in turn gives you an even more erratic pattern. Blabbity-blah, these are little things, and are things that you'll just sort of notice along the way, get something reliable, put a good barrel on it, and get comfortable with it, that's my advice.
Best wishes.;)
