Sidearm

"The Sidearms class is made up of lightweight pistols designed for ease of handling and quick-firing. Its antiquated triggering system and engineering make it rare within City limits. As it's long been a staple of the Awoken Royal Guard, perhaps this newly forged alliance between the Reef and the City will see the Sidearm become commonplace within Guardian arsenals."

— Grimoire Description

Sidearms are a class of special weapon introduced into Destiny in the House of Wolves expansion, and available to use in Destiny 2 as primary weapons. Unlike Hand Cannons, they have low impact but high rate of fire and reload rate, making them excellent backup weapons.
