Airacuda Max Moderator Question for Noob

I just ordered a new Airacuda max, which will be my first airgun. I’ve been a firearms shooter for a long time and have a lot of experience with rifles and suppressors.

I started looking at meditators and found various adapters and shrouds in addition to moderators. Aside from fixing alignment to prevent clipping, Is there a reason I shouldn’t just thread the moderator on the end of the barrel like I do with real rifles?
