When AONE 3 happened a few months ago I was privledged to behold AGDjon wielding dual AGD Sydarms. It was quite cool lookin. It prompted me to make my own design. Yes tom, i apologize i stole your name a bit, its not a Sydarm. But it is a Spydarm. Its a Spyder TL but.....its a pistol

I took a few pictures. Over the course of time this gun has changed a bit

before i post pics
i need to thank a lot of people so here goes, if i forget u, msg me on IRC and i will edit u in

Biggest thanks:
Nerobro - For modding my VA for me
WC_Keep - For sending me a free PF plug
Mister44/webby - for sending me some 10rd tubes
Oldsoldier - for giving me ideas and letting me use him as a sounding board
More thanks:
Waldorf/BOFH - For coming up with the name
AGDJon - for showing me what a sydarm looks like
Every single person in #automags (aka the AO chat) for helping me and giving me ideas and support!
Friendly Fire Paintballs field owner for giving me about 10000000000000 10rd tubes
OtterSC - cuz he asked and he had a good idea originally. No i didnt copy him..in fact i found out about his Convertable after my idea was already in the making.

So here comes the pic of the final thing: I want suggestions for close ups of certain parts: be warned, this is a Spyder TL. I hacked the Power feed neck off with a hack saw(god that weld was junky), the feed tube is a PVC pipe, its fed by a spring system, Part #533 from AGD for 3 bucks a piece u get a feed spring(i used 2 of them).
It holds 10 rounds to a PVC pipe, so its perfect with the 10 rd tubes. I do get 15 shots per 12gram(yes its 12 gram adapted) but i am modding a little more tonite to hopefully get it up to about 17.
Any questions?

{EDIT} Since i have already gotten comments. The rod on the back of the feed tube is just a rod, i havent had a chance to cut it yet and make it a little prettier.

The VA was filled by putting a plug from a remote, filled with EPOXY into the va, and the LPC was taken off and retapped to fit the 12 gram adapter(that was nero's part)

i got a suggestion for you
get rid of the "fuse" as people are calling it in the chat
try cutting a slot in the side of the feed tube so you can put a little lever in there to slide it back

A smaller barrel would make it look more like a handgun/sidearm.

Try a dremel tool with a conical grinding head.
