Crossword Genius

When drunk, mostly refuse gin shots (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gunfire

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

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for gunfire that I've seen before include "Fine rug (anag.)" , "Hail maybe" , "Sound of. eg. rifles" , "Repeated shooting" , "Weaponry noise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
