What's the functional purpose of the rebound spring and support in my MKII?

It broke and the tiny spring disappeared.

Replaced it today.

Curious at to its function.

thnx
 
That is the firing pin spring and spring support. Anything called "firing pin spring" returns the firing pin to its ready position after it is struck by the hammer. A lot of dry firing might have stressed the spring enough to break it.
