Azodin Blitz 3 Cupseal Valve Spring

The Azodin Blitz 3 cup seal valve spring's purpose is to provide consistent sealing for the cup seal against the valve, keeping it centered and preventing micro-leaks that cause shootdown or air loss, while also ensuring the valve closes properly after each shot, working with the striker and hammer to control airflow and maintain consistent performance in the poppet valve system. It's crucial for preventing air from leaking down the barrel, ensuring the gun recocks, and maintaining air efficiency. 

Key Functions:

• Maintains Cup Seal Position: Keeps the cup seal aligned on the valve face, preventing it from wobbling or dancing around, which is essential for a tight seal.

• Prevents Air Leaks: A properly sealed cup, aided by the spring, stops air from escaping down the barrel (a common source of leaks) or around the valve.

• Ensures Recocking: Works with the striker and hammer to ensure the valve closes after firing, allowing the gun to recock and be ready for the next shot.

• Supports Poppet Valve System: In Blitz 3's poppet valve design, the spring helps the valve snap shut after the striker hits it, controlling the burst of air to fire the paintball. 

Why it's Important:

• Fixes Leaks: Often the first thing to check for barrel leaks or sputtering, as a faulty or misaligned cup seal (often due to the spring's function) is a frequent culprit.

• Improves Consistency: Prevents inconsistent performance (shootdown) by ensuring proper air sealing and pressure release.

• Maintains Air Efficiency: A good seal means less wasted air, leading to more consistent velocity and better air tank usage. 

In essence, the valve spring is a small yet critical component that ensures the valve seals correctly and the entire firing mechanism functions reliably in your Azodin Blitz 3.
