It's usually a spring or solenoid operated hammer that physically knocks the valve open for a split second to release a small amount of gas from the reservoir.

It is made out of pressure rated steel, and the internals are made with great presicion.

Normally series 7000 aluminium actually. Depends on the marker. You must understand it takes a lot of machining to make a paintball marker.
