7d Statute
Way=St
A(s)tute = pointlessly shrewd

5d AXEL [jump] - cut = AXE, longways first = L

Thanks folks, which now leaves the following ...
5d jump cut longways first (4) ?x??
6d a gun to remove chewy stuff (6) ?o???t
11a got down when one fired up (8) a????t?d

Many thanks, Chox.

6d NOUGAT = anagram of 'a gun to'

Many thanks, Chokkie
