Can someone explain to me how the gauge on my regulated AA510 reads cylinder pressure when it appears to be located breach side of the regulator? And why it has two breather holes, one at each end of the cylinder?

Its not a straight up gauge. If you take the stock off you'll see its L shaped.

The breather holes are there just in case the o-rings fail inside the cylinder so that air can escape I guess.

The valve is offset toward the top of the cylinder and the reg is a small-OD unit that's apparently concentric with the valve, being mounted offset in its own block inside the cylinder.
There are seals at the interface of these components which keeps the post-reg charge separate to the air in the cylinder, which is allowed to pass the reg / valve assy and reach the gauge.
This is easier to see in the exploded diagram in the manual.

It's interesting to see that they've apparently replaced the shear bolt at the port with one of their propriatory torx-ish fittings, which has to be a good thing if it can be got out without the need for drilling.

Brilliant explanation! Thankyou
Now it makes sense. I did find a parts plan but couldn’t make sense of it.
