Satisfied garaging Welsh runner's old banger? (6)

I believe the answer is:

musket

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

'old banger?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'satisfied garaging welsh runner's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'runner' could be 'usk' (Welsh river) and 'usk' is present in the answer.
'satisfied' could be 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract') and 'met' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for musket that I've seen before include "Early infantry gun" , "Shoulder gun with a long barrel" , "Long-barrelled gun" , "Old type of gun" , "Old infantry gun" .)
