I believe the answer is:

crossbow

(Other definitions for crossbow that I've seen before include "William Tell's weapon" , "can precipitate a quarrel" , "One responsible for shooting bolts" , "Weapon (used to set off a quarrel?)" , "Old weapon wiht mechanism for firing bolt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
