Crossword Genius

Weapons record to look over (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

epees

'weapons' is the definition.
(epee is a kind of weapon)

'record to look over' is the wordplay.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'to look' becomes 'see'.
'over' is a reversal indicator.
'see' back-to-front is 'ees'.
'ep'+'ees'='EPEES'

(Other definitions for epees that I've seen before include "what can be seen on the piste" , "weapons" , "Fencing swords" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
