Which weapons can be used as sidearms?

[BloodyNine]

As the title says; I'm currently trying out a few combinations of weapons I could bring to have all my bases covered when it comes to combat. Is there a list that details all the weapons in the game (with stats) and categorizes which ones can be used in the side arm slot?

I did some light searching on Google but all that came up was super outdated (2-3 years old) and no longer useful, or just straight up blank (like the Wiki).

Melee weapons, handguns and smgs

That's the thing, not all SMGs can be used as sidearms, it's pretty inconsistent. The PMP-45 (UMP) yes, the Skorpion also, but the PPSH and the PP17 (Bizon) cannot and they're classified as SMGs.

Just curious if anyone has made a database or list of the available weapons in the game?

Oh okay, I haven't gotten that far yet so I just assumed all the smgs were side arms.

Pretty sure sawed off shotguns can also be sidearms. Anything that's "short". The Skorpion is more of a machine-pistol and compact while the PPSH is long and bulky with its huge magazine.

If it looks like it can be used with one hand it's a sidearm, if not, primary.
