no, the pressure alone is enough to seal the diaphram against the barrel.

You only need a spring behind it if you're pressurizing the gun from the front of the diaphragm.

You don't need one. My coaxial works fine without one. I made the rubber circle a little bigger than the pipe so it fits with the edges curved back and friction holds it there.
