Result of firing into the air? (6)
I believe the answer is:
upshot
'result' is the definition.
(I know that result can be written as upshot)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for upshot that I've seen before include "Eventual outcome or conclusion" , "Outcome, consequence" , "increased exposure" , "anti-aircraft fire?" , "skier" .)
