I don't quite understand how the spy's weapon thingy quite works. Can someone who understands it explain it clearer?

I guess you will be able to see how it works in-game

Basically, Dan, if you're disguised as a Medic, you show the needle gun. If you switch to your secondary as a spy, which is your sapper, and then press B (the last disguise button), it'll show you as a medic holding his secondary, which is the medigun.

[Jinsei Zetsumei]

ok so while the spy update about the weapon change sounds nice on paper... in the end its just going to casue spam on everything that moves... so I dont see it helping them much.
