Please parse these:
9ac Mark pressed endlessly to stop tasteless articles (6) = target
10ac Ambassador hiding form of blackjack that's fishy (4) = hake
22ac This stone is converted into inert gas (6) = garnet

10a Not too sure but it seems that 'a form of black jack' is an AK47 rifle


So put AK in HE (His Excellency = Ambassador)

[scorpiojo]

22 inert gas minus is?

[Captain2]

By the way, whilst looking that up, I found

"A very inexpensive part, but a good upgrade for your AK type rifle" - so that's worth knowing!

10a.ak (21 a to k in alaphabet) in He(ambassador)

[dannyk13]

21 is a form of blackjack.

[Captain2]

(Mine sounds more exciting though)

Thanks for explanation danny
