Rifle or pistol? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gun

This clue is a double definition.

'rifle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pistol?' is the second definition.
(pistol is a kind of gun)

(Other definitions for gun that I've seen before include "What has barrel" , "It can be carried by 15 Ac" , "Artillery piece" , "Arm" , "Revolver" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
