is there a connection between body size and the strength of the particle shots that the bots fire?

Yes, more body will increase the power and range of shots. I couldn't find the exact formula but I would guess it is logarithmic: power ~ K*log(body).
Another way to increase power is to store positive numbers in .shootval
To increase range, store negative numbers in .shootval
