Just for fun, I am solely upgrading the SMG to its maximum potential. I want to see how godlike it is with full stats.
Lately, I have noticed that it is listed as both a light weapon and a sidearm, and so I have been wondering if both types of upgrades work on it. Does anyone know? |

Sidearm skill. If it can be equipped as a Sidearm, then the sidearm skills effect it. |

yup!
The only exception is a nova knife. They get skill ups from melee damage. I'm not sure if they get an increase from sidearm skills too, but most can't even apply to nova knives. |

but does light weapons skill not also apply? It is categorized in game as both a light weapon and a sidearm. |

oh, no light weapon skills do not affect sidearms. It is a different class of weapon. |

This is a typo if true. SMG is definitely a sidearm class weapon.

It's classified as a Sidearm, but it's noted that Sidearm weapons can also fit into the Light Weapon slot.
Rule of thumb, if a weapon can be fitted to a sidearm slot, then it will only receive benefits from the Sidearm skills. |

No, pistols are also classified as a sidearm. Shotguns are a light weapon.
Like Jotun said, you can put sidearms in the light weapon slot. If you try it on a heavy, there's a heavy weapons slot, but you can also put light weapons or sidearms in that slot too. |

I was told otherwise. Are you sure this is how it works? |

Its a sidearm and only sidearm skills/mods effect it.

Nova knives are unaffected by melee damage but improved by sidearm damage mods. |
