Crossword Genius

Like some guns mobster and hood arranged together (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smoothbored

'like some guns' is the definition.
(I know that firearms can be smoothbored)

'mobster and hood arranged together' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'arranged together' indicates anagramming the letters.
'mobster'+'hood'='mobsterhood'
'mobsterhood' anagrammed gives 'SMOOTHBORED'.
