Zeros with strange weapons (9)
I believe the answer is:
howitzers
'weapons' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'zeros with strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'zeros'+'with'='zeroswith'
'zeroswith' is an anagram of 'HOWITZERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
