| | A '''Sidearm''' is a weapon, usually a pistol, which is worn on the body in a holster to permit immediate access and use. Usually, uniformed personnel wear their weapons openly, while personnel in civilian attire have their weapon concealed under their clothes. A sidearm may be carried alone, or as a back-up to a primary weapon such as a rifle or carbine. |
| Sidearms in the [[Halo]] Universe are a class of [[weapons]] that most often are not the primary weapons used by soldiers.

| ==Modern definition==
| |
| A sidearm is a small personal weapon that is typically worn on the body in a holster in such a way to permit immediate access and use. Although this term can apply to swords and other [[melee]] weapons, the modern use of it is usually affiliated with pistols and similar firearms that can be used with ease, most only requiring one hand.
