How about tertiary?

If I mispronounce that as I've just done, I do believe my friends will make kindergarden-level jokes every time I attempt to use it. Thanks but I'll stick with backup. ;)

The second "t" sounds like "sh", like in nutrition. So you end up with it being something like tur-shi-ary. No feces involved!

Of course, because you're using the weapon as a replacement for actual backup, calling it a backup weapon works just as well. I think bolas will probably work best for you - although sand/dust is nice and nasty versions (like salt/pepper) qualify to work with gizmo, it can only engage foes you are already in melee with - and with some GM's, you'll have to worry about it getting blown back into your own face! Gizmo might still work to pull out some improvised bolas.
