Just the weapon to turn the tables? (8)
I believe the answer is:
revolver
'just the weapon' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'turn the tables?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'turn' could be 'revolve' (revolving is a kind of turning) and 'revolve' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for revolver that I've seen before include "1966 platter" , "murder weapon" , "Six-shooter" , "firearm" , "Type of gun" .)
