'munitions' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bored concealing power provided by working' is the wordplay.
'bored' becomes 'weary' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'concealing' is an insertion indicator.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'provided by' says to put letters next to each other.
'working' becomes 'on' (on can mean working or activated).
'p'+'on'='pon'
'weary' going around 'pon' is 'WEAPONRY'.
