As Teddy says.

It removes the poppet spring and replaces it with an insert.

You get the insert and a new firing poppet from Planet.

I have fitted and tested it works but have not used the gun in anger yet. Should do tomorrow. I have a funny feeling I will not notice any difference, the up grade will be working behind the scene.

On the tech poster its the poppet spring and not the bolt spring. (right of the picture)

Hiya

I put a box a of paint through it on Saturday. It was very cold, I didnt have a single break compared to a few others who were using the same paint but different markers.

I shot 10 balls over the chrono to check the FPS and there was only 8fps between all 10 balls. :). It looks like the spring-less insert may make it more consistent, But I could be wrong.

Hello Spooly

Planet have been shut over the Christmas holiday, On the web site they say they re open on the 2nd Jan. I guess there may be a back log on their return.

I have to say I didnt notice any difference, I think its one of those behind the scene upgrades that works and you are none the wiser but that may be me. ;) :unsure:
