Tips on weapons hardware, so varied (10)
I believe the answer is:
arrowheads
'tips on weapons' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'hardware so varied' is the wordplay.
'varied' indicates an anagram.
'hardware'+'so'='hardwareso'
'hardwareso' with letters rearranged gives 'ARROWHEADS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for arrowheads that I've seen is " Weapon points".)
