Ross

I believe the answer is:

mortar

'being swapping tips on luger for this weapon?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mortar that I've seen before include "Gun; brick bonder" , "Masonry bond" , "Brick-joining material or short cannon" , "may be set into wall" , "Building adhesive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
