I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'incendiary weapon?' is the definition.
(I know that Molotov cocktail is a type of incendiary weapon)

'army doctor toss tool against tap? follow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'army' could be 'ta' (abbreviation for Territorial Army) and 'ta' is present in the answer.
'doctor' could be 'mo' (medical officer) and 'mo' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'tool' is 'loto' which is located in the answer.
'against' could be 'v' (abbreviation for 'versus') and 'v' is found within the answer.
'tap?' could be 'cock' (I've seen this before) and 'cock' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'making' is the link.
