Yeah it doesn't take much for a suppressor to be out, especially with an exit aperture of only 8.5mm
For the record, it takes about 3ms for a .30 to travel the 330mm from the end of the inner to the end of the suppressor. 0.003 seconds.

A normal AEG cylinder doesn't even have enough air volume to use anything over a 420mm barrel anyway. So although the extra barrel length isn't directly hindering performance, you're joule creeping in reverse, and the extra length is just extra length for fouling to mess up the shot.
So if the outer barrel is only 300 to 363mm long, you're actually better off just running a 300-363mm inner barrel. There's no rule stating your inner has to be the same length as your outer barrel plus attachment.
