AEA How to de-gas .357 AEA Terminator?

All you need to do is slowly loosen this screw and your air will bleed out.

How easy are these to work on? Looking to get one myself but a bit leery of the semi mechanism.
I have an HP Carbine and I’ve found it to be easy to work on. The semi auto mechanism within the shroud is simply a piston that’s attached to a rod that drives the bolt back, and a big return spring over the barrel. MT Airgunner on youtube has some great tear-down and repair videos on the HPs. I’m guessing the Terminators are fairly similar in operation.

Wow, so similar to the system used in ARs or AKs? I never really considered how semi/full auto mechanisms in airguns must benefit from always using “clean” gas as opposed to firearms to cycle the action.
