Stab a slug (4)

I believe the answer is:

shot

I believe this is a double definition.

'stab' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a slug' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for shot that I've seen before include "Small drink; photograph" , "pop!" , "Firing of a gun" , "Gunned down - go - guess" , "Small drink of spirits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
