Morphology

weaponeer = weapon (semi-transparent) = weapon + eer

Formation 'weapon' + '-eer' clearly signals a person associated with weapons, but the precise occupational role (designer, specialist, maker, or dealer) is ambiguous.

Etymology

The word weaponeer mixes weapon 'a tool for fighting' with the ending -eer meaning 'a person who works with', like engineer. So a weaponeer can be someone who makes, fixes, or builds weapons and weapon parts.
