What do the Spanish call it when you have a weapon hanging from your belt?

El arma de cinta puede ser cual quier pistola llevada por el cinturón. Normalmente es lo que se usan los campesinos or que sea, los cowboys. La Beretta normalmente se refiere a una "pistola" o "pistola automática." Un apodo de cual quier arma sería, "consejo" porque es muy facil consejar a alguien con fuerza.

I've normally heard just 'las armas' but I've heard 'arma de fuego' used, but this is more a firearm. I've heard escopeta also, but this is more of a rifle or shotgun, (i think) so I would say la pistola seems to be the best answer from kenryan

All the shows I've seen have called them "armas" but then I haven't seen any western type shows. They were always pistols.
