I believe the answer is:

salvo

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

'round of shots' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'five in comfortable bar save' is the wordplay.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'comfortable bar save' becomes 'salo' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'v' going inside 'salo' is 'SALVO'.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salvo that I've seen before include "concentrated fire" , "Simultaneous firing of weapons" , "Burst of rapid fire" , "A number of shots" , "Ceremonial shots" .)
