You can extend the barrel into the tee so the piston is behind the hole.
On high-performance launchers, this may cause some flow restriction.
Not that it is a bad thing or so, you can still have a very powerful launcher, its just to squeeze out those few extra joules.
Till the day I'm dieing, I'll keep them spuddies flying, 'cause I can!
