Report with projectile embedded (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'report' is the definition.
(bulletin is a kind of report)

'with projectile embedded' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'projectile' becomes 'bullet' (bullet is a kind of projectile).
'embedded' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bullet' next to 'in' is 'BULLETIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Short statement on the news as it happens" , "Short statement on the news as it comes in" , "Short and regular up-date" , "Broadcast summary of news" , "News programme" .)
