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

This clue might be a double definition.

'weapon' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Incendiary weapon ' mean 'napalm' so perhaps 'weapon' could also mean 'napalm')

'in the heat of the moment?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'used' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for napalm that I've seen before include "Highly flammable jelly" , "Liquid used in flame-throwers" , "Jelly used in fire bombs and flame-throwers" , "Incendiary agent" , "attack with bombs" .)
