Daunting to find no queries on cryptic 1272 this weekend; I am 4/5th through but by no means finished. Did everyone else find it to easy?

12. Arsenic - As/AS is the chemical symbol for it. It's from Arsenal, magazine (guns), with A L ('article left out', so remove the A nd L) and I C, one chapter added.

9 Snifter, brandy glass - Sifter, one using sieve, with N, new, put in.
