On an F2 the poppet does the same job it does on a Fusion: it governs how much air is released per shot, and therefore how much energy the gun produces. It is the component you change when you want a different output rather than a different feel.
Low-flow restricts that release, which is what brings an engine within UK site energy limits. Fitting one is usually the cleanest way to bring a hot gun down rather than winding the regulator low and living with the consequences.
This is the F2 part specifically — it is not interchangeable with the Fusion poppet, despite the similar name and function. Worth checking which engine you have before ordering.

Good to know before you buy
F2 only. The Fusion uses a different poppet at a different price — check which engine you are running before ordering.
A poppet change alters muzzle energy, so chronograph afterwards and confirm you are inside your site limit before playing.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a Fusion?
No. Despite doing the same job, the F2 and Fusion poppets are different parts. This one is for the F2.
Why is it cheaper than the Fusion poppet?
Different part for a different engine. The price difference reflects the component, not the quality.
Do I need to re-chronograph?
Yes. Changing a poppet changes energy output, and confirming your site limit afterwards is essential.
Should I change the poppet or the regulator to reduce FPS?
Usually the poppet, if you need a significant change. Regulator adjustment is for fine tuning. Ask us and we will advise for your setup.
