The enhance velocity shot increases ranged attack as well as snapshot. Personally done the testing many times.
Same strength/gear other than the body of course. Top is kirin's osode (*I made up the 2 STR elsewhere*), bottom is caban. They are paired on the same exact mob, so no differences in stats (i.e. first two lines are the 1st mob, 2nd two lines are 2nd, etc.):
