so BSJ,The two hole thing is to replace the old way AA designed the fail safe feature. Put too much air in the old tubes and the tube's end would flare out an release the pressure. You had to replace the tube after that...
The new system just kills an oring.
There is a passage that allows cylinder air to bypass the reg to reach the gauge.
The cylinder is made to a maximum standard, as opposed to a minimum. It has been enabled for reduced weight and made the engineering slightly more complex.
Will they eventually go carbon fibre and simplify the whole process? I'm no design engineer, but carbon wrapping is increasing in popularity for HPA.
If you know what the regulator is set at you only need to know remaining cylinder pressure, so the gauge could be located in front of the reg, and change the current filling apparatus to male foster in the same housing. RTI Arms have the male foster, externally adjustable reg, cylinder and reg pressure gauges in the one housing; if they can do it in Slovakia...... (One gauge would be sufficient for fixed reg for most people, my thoughts.) Weihrauch: adjustable reg, one gauge, power adjustable also with hammer.
My two cents worth.
