Not a pcp shooter so may be better to wait for more qualified answer but had a pumper that I over pumped and it pressure locked the valve. Maybe remove the bottle and see if you can push the valve inside the gun with something that won't damage it, to release the pressure.
Is it a regulated bottle? It may be pressured higher than the strike force of the hammer. As I say I don't shoot pcp and would wait for a more educated responce. But it may be an option to make sure that is not the issue.

Call Ron Young of Young's Airguns Ltd in Auckland - he'll probably know what's wrong if you describe exactly what you did, etc...

What pressure does the Reign take onboard? 230Bar?

I've only put around 200 pellets through mine and struggling to think what else it might be.  Perhaps a fault with the regulator.  Best you contact the supplier.

Next question would be does the trigger work. If it's pressure locked the trigger would still release the hammer but the hammer would not be able to to push valve open. So trigger would still release. Of trigger is not releasing it may be trigger fault, or possibly hammer has got stuck.
Ringing Ron is probly the best idea.
It will still be under warranty and you don't want to void that pulling it apart. Does the air cylinder have pressure still? You haven't popped a seal and it's all leaked out?
