Raised weapon acquires valuable titbits (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuggets

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

'valuable titbits' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'raised weapon acquires' is the wordplay.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'weapon' becomes 'gun' (gun is a kind of weapon).
'acquires' becomes 'gets' ('get' can be a synonym of 'acquire').
'gun' backwards is 'nug'.
'nug'+'gets'='NUGGETS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nuggets that I've seen before include "Lumps of metal like gold" , "Small lumps of gold" , "Solid lumps of a precious metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
