Came in, hung around to get a weapon (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

machinegun

'a weapon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'came in hung around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'came'+'in'+'hung'='cameinhung'
'cameinhung' anagrammed gives 'MACHINEGUN'.

'to get' is the link.

(Another definition for machinegun that I've seen is " weapon".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
