German enters bearing peacekeeper's weapon (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airgun

'weapon' is the definition.
(airgun is a kind of weapon)

'german enters bearing peacekeeper's' is the wordplay.
'german' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'enters' is an insertion indicator.
'bearing' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before**).
'peacekeeper' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'air'+'un'='airun'
'g' placed inside 'airun' is 'AIRGUN'.

(Another definition for airgun that I've seen is " Weapon with small shot".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
