biceps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set of guns?' is the definition.
'biceps' can be an answer for 'guns?' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'set of' bit.

'writer's hoarding record' is the wordplay.
'writer's' becomes 'bic's' (Bic is a manufacturer of pen).
'hoarding' is an insertion indicator.
'record' becomes 'EP' (abbreviation for extended play record).
'bics' going around 'ep' is 'BICEPS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for biceps that I've seen before include "Muscle that flexes the forearm" , "Contractor" , "Large upper arm muscle" , "I bend the elbow" , "Elbow-bending muscle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
