What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ GAMING ][ VERB ]
Landing a kill on an enemy through a wall or other solid obstacle in a shooter game, using weapons or maps where bullets can penetrate certain materials, rather than needing a direct line of sight.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I heard footsteps behind that wall and just wallbanged him without ever seeing him."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named as a straightforward compound of 'wall' and 'bang' (gunfire), describing a specific mechanic in first-person shooters where penetration through cover surprises an enemy who assumed they were safe behind it.
