It all depends on the make and model. Some are stronger than others. An example is a Benjamin Super Streak can easily shoot 1/4 of a mile and much further.

spring drives a piston that pushes air
Gun or Rifle. there is a big difference. As for range What power plant do you intend to use. Spring, C02, Pump or PCP? If it PCP then you have the range of a real rifle, at least 1/4 mile
When the rifle is cocked, a spring is compressed. Pulling the trigger releases the spring, which pushes a piston forward, The piston compresses air as it moves. The compressed air blows the BB or pellet out of the barrel.
Not usually. There are several factors involved besides the spring, but the .22 will usually use a stronger spring to propel the heavier pellet.
A spring powered system uses a spring that is inside an air tube. The spring is attached to a piston. When the rifle is cocked the spring and piston are drawn back and locked at one end of the air tube. The other end of the air tube has a small hole that is directly behind the pellet and rifle barrel. When the trigger is pulled the spring is released and it pushes the piston down the air tube forcing all the air through the hole, and that fires the pellet down the barrel.
Depends on the rifle. Accurately? About 50 yards max.
When you cock the rifle it compresses the gas behind a piston just like a spring. Basically it replaces the spring.
Air rifles ranges vary depending on they're caliber, power, power plant and the pellet being used. It also depends on your application, The hunting range of an airgun is usually less than the target range. For a .177 caliber air rifle shooting at 1000 fps your maximum hunting range is probably about 40 yards. Your target range is probably about 100 yards max, since you don't need the power to take down the game at that range. For a .22 caliber air rifle shooting about 800- 1000 (with a 14.3 grain pellet) Your hunting range is more based on your gun's accuracy, than it is power. I would say the max is about 75 yards. Target could be about 130 yards or more. For a big bore, your range is usually about 100 yards or more depending on the game.
Not recommended. Not desgined for a more powerful spring.
Yes it can but getting the current rifle "Tuned" by an expert will get you better results. Tuning will make the spring and trigger perform better.
