Ammo in ogre's path exploded (9)
I believe the answer is:
grapeshot
'ammo' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'ogre's path exploded' is the wordplay.
'exploded' indicates an anagram.
'ogres'+'path'='ogrespath'
'ogrespath' is an anagram of 'GRAPESHOT'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grapeshot that I've seen before include "Short page (anag) - ammunition for cannon" , "one could get peppered with it!" , "Describing ammunition" , "Great Balls of Fire" , "Small iron balls fired from a cannon" .)
