Weapon of Shakespearean character (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pistol

This clue is a double definition.

'weapon' is the first definition.
(pistol is a kind of weapon)

'shakespearean character' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pistol that I've seen before include "pop" , "Hand weapon" , "Shakespearean - weapon" , "A small hand-gun" , "Hand-held firearm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
