HW/Weihrauch HW44 love

I was lookin at the Weihrauch hw44 and read lots of good things about it, I do have a short question,
in the manual it says the following :
"When using charging equipment with a filling pressure of 300 bar (4.185 p.s.i.), a pressure reducer must be used which has to be set to 200 bar (2.900,76 p.s.i.)." What does Weihrauch mean with this?
My diving bottle is filled at 300 bar, I cant lower the internal pressure of the bottle. However, if I close the main valve of the diving bottle when the manometer reaches 200 bar there is no problem right? I also have the huma inline external regulator, but all it does is limits the outgoing pressure to 200 bar even if I fully open the main valve of the diving bottle, it doesnt lower the pressure in the diving bottle.

Weihrauch is just taking precautions to avoid getting a lot of lawyers on their backs.
Yes, that's how you do it: Close the dive tank valve when the pressure in the tank on the pistol reaches 200 bar.

I'll show some HW44 love! I purchased this near new gun recently from an AGN member. I reduced power and get 30 shots on a fill, shooting JSB 10.3s at 695fps. It parks pellets on top of each other if YOU'RE steady enough. Standard 10 shot group below at 25 yards from bucket and trigger sticks.

I have a question about the Weihrauch HW44, in the official manual it says the air cilinder should be checked by Weihrauch after 10 years, this can only be done once. Lets say after 10 years the cilinder is checked, and one year later it breaks, or has a fault, does that mean I am screwed? I cant remove it myself and cant find it online. Or can Weihrauch install a new air cilinder against charge? I live in the Netherlands and Weihrauch is a German based brand
this is from the HW44 manual
"
According to regulations, you must not use the air cylinder / cartridge longer than10 years. After 10 years from the manufacturing date the air cylinder / cartridge must not be usedany further, must be emptied (see ”Unloading the pistol and emptying the air cartridge / cylinder“p. 26) and sent back to the manufacturer for checking against extra charge. This is only possible once. Please note the date of your pistol’s manufacture, or check the date inscribed onthe pistol’s air cylinder / cartridge"

But what I mean, lets say after 12 years it no longer works, can Weihrauch put in a new air cilinder? Because they say they can only inspect it once after 10 years.

If your concerned , just order a new cylinder and save it to use when this one is too old , Many air containers have date way below actuall safe date on the bottle . This of course is up to you weather you do or not .
The only way it would no longer work is if it leaked or blows up , Leaked is an O ring gasket ,Blowing up , not likely .

But I cant find the HW44 air cilinder online to buy, also there is no clear description of how to disassemble it.

If you want a new cylinder, fit a carbine length HW110/100 one
40% extra shot count and lighter than stock

ask on here under PCP pistols , i have read a few threads describing exactly what you need to know. One thread was where the person changes the Sir tube to a Benjamin tube equal to the barrel length for more air . ,
Maybe have the dealer where you bought get a replacement ?
