Crossword Genius

Weapon dream is confused (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side arm

'weapon' is the definition.
(I know that side arm is a type of firearm)

'dream is confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'dream'+'is'='dreamis'
'dreamis' with letters rearranged gives 'SIDE-ARM'.

(Another definition for side arm that I've seen is " weapon".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
