Wealthy, evil type of military leader with bullets at The Point (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mammon

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

'wealthy evil type' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'military leader with bullets at the point' is the wordplay.
'leader' indicates taking the first letters.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bullets' becomes 'ammo' (I've seen this before).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'the point' becomes 'n' (N is an example).
The first letter of 'military' is 'm'.
'm'+'ammo'+'n'='MAMMON'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mammon that I've seen before include "Biblical god of riches" , "money" , "Bible 'You cannot serve God and . . . . . .'" , "God of material wealth" , "Wealth (worshipped)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
