Pretty simple mod, only replaces the barrel cover.

You will need 11 coils of k31 spring (or similar spring size but weaker), put it around the barrel and stretch it until the spring is ~10cm long when resting.

Buy these and stack two of them end-to-end: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CGZPZFQV?ref=fed_asin_title&th=1 (1.2mm wire by 20mm OD by 50mm free length stainless steel compression springs)

I highly recommend using a section of small heatshrink around the end coils of the springs that are end-to-end to bind them together and stop them from slipping past each other in extreme cases.

The only scary part is that you need to cut a slot into the plunger tube, like shown here:

Then, before you slide the barrel into your build, put the spring into the barrel cover so it goes around the barrel.
