A gun for each person (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apiece

'for each person' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a gun' is the wordplay.
'gun' becomes 'piece' (piece is a kind of gun).
'a'+'piece'='APIECE'

(Other definitions for apiece that I've seen before include "for everyone" , "Per person" , "A head" , "For or by each one of group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
