You'd have to ask Fowler, but certainly when he coined it, "Bambi"
was the
last thing on anyone's mind. I believe Fowler's intention was "one
that
thumps" (or, in the unique parlance of a certain Commander-in-Chief,
"one that gives a thumpin'").
You can take your pick of things that thump here:

given the other name is the X4500 .. it does seem like it should be a
weapon
