"bang, bang, bang!"

[Jonathan Lighter]

OED has no entry for this interjection used to evince effective, rapidfire action.  Sportscasters use it a lot to comment on double plays, for example.

1946 Grover C. Hall _1,000 Destroyed_ (Montgomery, Ala.: pvtly. pub.)  ch. 18  Let's make a pretty landing,...bang, bang, bang. We want to make the thing look like a 7 1/2 hour trip is nothing to us.
