Sword gets record points (4)
I believe the answer is:
epee
'sword' is the definition.
(sword used in fencing)
'record points' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'points' becomes 'ee'.
'ep'+'ee'='EPEE'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for epee that I've seen before include "Duelling weapon" , "piece of fencing" , "Fencer's sword" , "Sharp-pointed duelling sword" , "Type of sword" .)
