So watching the video again, I can't help but wonder if the owner/narrator is giving out incorrect information a lot of the time. He says that "you don't have to cock it, once you put air to it it's cocked..." implying that the resting position of the bolt/ram is forward until given air, but you can't see the bolt move to a rearward position when the gas source is engaged. If William the Third is correct and that's just an anti-jam bolt and the spring in the upper tube has nothing to do with the operating mechanism of the gun, it could be that it really is just a traditional blowback from the grip frame up. I've never worked on one of the old Trilogy SF 'cockers, but my understanding of how they work is that the solenoid doesn't directly act on the sear or ram, but instead is basically a pilot valve for a secondary ram in the grip frame which "pulls the trigger" in place of the user as in a normal 'cocker. The AG might be doing something similar- the trigger is acting as a pilot valve for a small pneumatic system which trips the forward sear in the grip frame, not unlike an electronic blowback. Partially pulling the trigger might cause it to hiss, but unlike, say, an Emek there would be no way to short-stroke the gun because either the "slave" system lets go of the sear or it doesn't.
Also, I'm guessing that barrel-shaped component in bottom of the grip frame is the LPR.
The comments on the video are further confusing because of the idiomatic practice in paintball to refer to any small pneumatic control valve as a "solenoid" whether it's electronic or not.
