Thumper

Thumper is someone or something that thumps—makes heavy, dull sounds through impact.

The word names the rabbit character in Disney's *Bambi*, known for thumping his hind foot.

In slang, a thumper can be a Bible thumper (an aggressive evangelical Christian), a powerful bass speaker, or a large-caliber gun: He carries a .44 thumper for bear country.
