One thing to point out, the Hatsan/Hammerli Pnuma AT44's share the same removable bottle. I didn't set out to do so, but I ended up with three of the Darth Vader stocked ones, .177 & .22 single shot Pnuma's and a Pump action .25 Hatsan. So the reason the much criticized pressure gauge is at the end rather than on the side is the bottle spins. Since the valve is in the bottle it also raises the posibility of varying the state of tune by using different bottles, max power or max shot... Those that hunt or on an extended location plinking/target session can carry the extra bottles with ease.Mark

I did read that feature was there but had no other info except the bottle was removable. That does explain the gauge location. Not sure about the cost of a tube to have as a backup but will check. I'm guessing those too are readily available?
