Are they supposed to have nearly infinite range?

I see your using the source code version yes...

...if so then yes they are "supposed" to have infinite range. Another reason why we didn't fully support the SCP release of TBP until we get such things worked on...because no, ultimately they should not have infinite range, they should stop (or stop being damaging) at a maximum range of oh maybe 900 meters or less.

beam range is now suported in SCP, I beleve I added it to TBP_open, though if there is an exe in the zip it is by now quite out dated

Ahh good...I'm a bit outdated myself

Perhaps it was an older version.

if you have the SCP exe (any of the recent builds) try TBP open (I think I included a build in the zip)
if the values in there arn't to your likeing open the weapons table and find the entry for the Neutron Gun (and/or Neutron GunB), find the $BeamInfo: section and tweak +Range:, wich is currently at 2000, take note of the line +Attenuation: wich tells you were full damage of the beams stops (meaning things at the end of the beam will get less damage unless you change this to 1.0)
