We will get protective gear, seeing off latest in nuclear munitions (7)
I believe the answer is:
weapons
'munitions' is the definition.
(weapon is a kind of munition)
'we will get protective gear seeing off latest in nuclear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'we' is found in the answer.
'nuclear' could be 'n' (abbreviation) and 'n' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for weapons that I've seen before include "Armaments" , "Implements to inflict harm" , "Guns, swords, bombs etc" .)
