From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  blammo v. [Oxford Brookes University and alumni, UK] To forcibly remove
     someone from any interactive system, especially talker systems. The
     operators, who may remain hidden, may `blammo' a user who is
     misbehaving. Very similar to MIT {gun}; in fact, the `blammo-gun' is a
     notional device used to `blammo' someone. While in actual fact the only
     incarnation of the blammo-gun is the command used to forcibly eject a


     user, operators speak of different levels of blammo-gun fire; e.g., a
     blammo-gun to `stun' will temporarily remove someone, but a blammo-gun
     set to `maim' will stop someone coming back on for a while.
