It happens in Step 3. When the hammer strikes the valve the valve opens and air is expelled (the dark green arrow). Part of that pressure is against the hammer, the rest of it goes down the side channels of the valve.
The hammer has an o-rig around it. The hammer goes about 1/2" (guessing) into the powertube before striking the valve. When the valve opens the air pushes against the hammer. The O-ring seals it for that split second it is traveling backwards inside the powertube. It's in that split second that the air rushes forward down the side channels to pressurize the front bolt/paintball.
