Sidearm

Line 4:

'''Sidearm weapons''' are a class of light [[weapons]].

These ''personal defense weapons'' (PDW) are much smaller than the standard shoulder-fired [[rifle|military service weapon]]s or [[support weapon]]s. They permit immediate access and use, permit unimpeded movement during close-quarters combat, and usually requires only one hand to heft; which may allow the possibility of [[dual wielding]]. Usually, uniformed personnel wear their sidearm 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 service weapon.
