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

'prepared for combat?' is the definition.
'armed to the teeth' can be an answer for 'prepared'. I am not sure about the 'for combat?' bit.

'seeing threat demo posed choppers' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'choppers' could be 'teeth' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'teeth' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for armed to the teeth that I've seen is " with lots of weapons".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
