Weapons of smart, mean design (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armaments

'weapons' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'smart mean design' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates an anagram.
'smart'+'mean'='smartmean'
'smartmean' anagrammed gives 'ARMAMENTS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for armaments that I've seen before include "Weapons for men-at-arms" , "Munitions" , "Military weaponry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
