Weapons get record points (5)
I believe the answer is:
epees
'weapons' is the definition.
(epee is a kind of weapon)
'get record points' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'points' becomes 'ees' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ep' put next to 'ees' is 'EPEES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for epees that I've seen before include "Fencing swords" , "what can be seen on the piste" , "weapons" .)
