Had this from new but not used for a little while. Last week I took it out of the gun cabinet and filled up to 200BAR in readiness for use this week. When I came to get it I found all the air had completely gone.
This has never before happened so I would appreciate some advice as to the possible culprit. Could it be the tiny seal that fits over the end of the air cylinder where it joins the action ...?

theres youtube videos on detecting the leaks on hw100.
as a process of elimination, I would first fill the bottle and remove it, mix up some weak fairy liquid /water.. just enough so it can bubble and paint it all over both ends of the cylinder and see if it bubbles anywhere.
if that is good, I would put a balloon over the barrel and check for leaks through the regulator and transfer port.
if you watch the vids, its pretty easy job

the two regular culprits are
1st, the o ring on the brass spigot where the cylinder screws in.
2nd, the firing valve cap o ring.
as noted above there are plenty of how too videos online or on the forums, it's easy enough to sort.

I've had two leaks on mine and both were the cylinder spigot. On the second ocassion the new O-ring I fitted also leaked, so if you change the o-ring and it still leaks don't necessarily assume that it is leaking somewhere else
