Gins Bankai is impressive - he deliberately got everyone to focus on the fact that in shikai it extends for 100m and in bankai it extends for 13km, and drew attention away from the fact that while its length had increased exponentially - the speed of its extension (and retraction) had also increased at presumably the same rate.
In effect in any close combat fight Gin could pierce his opponent the moment the tip of his sword pointed at him.
trying to hit a target a long distance away could be quite comical with the degree of error that kraco pointed out.
