It goes round; in fact shoots round (8)
I believe the answer is:
revolver
This clue might be a double definition.
'it goes round in fact' is the first definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'shoots round' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for revolver that I've seen before include "murder weapon" , "Pistol - Beatles album" , "Type of gun" , "1966 platter" , "firearm" .)
