no, range is the same but the gunfire is more effective.
on other aircraft the nose was full of engine, so the guns were mounted in the wings, some distance apart
they were angled inwards or harmonized so that they formed a cone that concentrated the fire at a particular point
at ranges greater or less than the ideal point the fire was less concentrated
nose mounted guns were still harmonized but the sweet spot was much larger
