'result' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'a hothead having a weapon?' is the wordplay.
'a hothead' becomes 'h' (head letter of 'hot').
'having' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a weapon?' becomes 'arm' ('arm' can be a synonym of 'weapon').
'h'+'arm'='HARM'

'of' is the link.
