Could you put the 14.5 piston assembly -->THIS<-- into an 11.5 to reduce gas flow on a dedicated suppressed gun?

I mean, I've read of people cutting down MCX barrels and not changing the gas at all.

Could you?  Sure.  I can't say, either way, as to how well it would work.

In theory, everything you said is correct.

Is there an advantage to changing the piston length? How would this effect gas to the face? Am I missing something?

i didn't change anything with my gas system when I chopped my barrel.

I'm sorry, it's not really the piston I was asking about. But the kit comes with the selector valve with the nozzles.

Yeah the piston cup / valve is what determines how much gas. I have asked before if we can buy alternate valves. Sure would be cool.
