Handgun

The Handgun is a weapon with well-rounded stats, and compared to the Assault Rifle, it has decent DPS. However, it is Semi-Automatic, meaning that for rapid fire you must pull the trigger multiple times. The Handgun is the initial side-arm for players, being part of the first loadout a player uses (which is frequently referred to as the "default loadout").

Spray

The Spray is a weapon that is basically a lightweight version of the Burst Rifle, but with lessened damage. Since this weapon uses illegally-modified-armor-piercing-rounds, it can bypass Riot Shield and the deflection ability of Katana. This makes it one of the best secondaries for countering these weapons.
