Gun; ransack (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'gun' is the first definition.
(I know that rifle is a type of firearm)

'ransack' is the second definition.
(rifle can mean to ransack or rob)

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "Winchester" , "An arm" , "Rummage" , "Search and rob for army weapon" , "Gun; plunder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
