Weapon search (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rifle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'search' is the second definition.
(I know that rifle is a type of search)

(Other definitions for rifle that I've seen before include "An arm" , "Pillage; a weapon" , "Gun - steal" , "Gun - ransack" , "Ransack - firearm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times.
