With a machine shop at his dosposal and a gun running over 1 ksi, I see no reason to suspect he isn't using a very small piston valve. Could he be running a hammer valve? Absolutely. I'm not saying he isn't. I'm saying that with his assets the door is wide open.

I think it's safe to say it's a hammer valve, with HPA you don't "need" the efficiency of a quick exhaust valve to have enough power to take down a deer and it's a better idea for multiple shots (though why not use a hammer valve to pilot a piston like Gipetto...) though it appears to be a muzzle loader.

This guy has been featured in a few online articles now. This is a drawing of his mechanism from one of the previous articles.

Though his final design is substantially different to that, as it ended up being a muzzle-loader. It is, however a hammer valve.
