Crossword Genius

Character with one arm (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pistol

I believe this is a double definition.

'character' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Shakespearean character' mean 'pistol' so perhaps 'character' could also mean 'pistol')

'one arm' is the second definition.
(pistol is a kind of arm)

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pistol that I've seen before include "Hand-held firearm" , "Small gun" , "Arm" , "Piece" , "Hand weapon" .)
