For a punch to the gut I have always liked ‘oof’ as it reflects wind getting knocked out of a guy. For a punch to the junk I like ungh, as it is a reaction to doubling over from the pain. Kaboom is deeper in sound to kabam or kablam, which I think of as a higher pitch. The ka is for louder and larger versions of boom, bam, or blam.
Definitely Kaboom! It is more Ka-boom! with the emphasis on the second syllable. Kablam when spoken dissipates in English - the opposite of a punch :-). Bam! Or wham-bam also work.

It seems like it would cover a lot of things.

Wham-bam sounds like a combination shot! Nice

(although in comics they still tend to write "Kaboom") ;)

Do you sense a difference between a 'Boom!' and a 'Bammm!'?
Are 'Kaboom' and 'Kablam' louder than the two above?
What are your favourite onomatopoeia for punches / explosions?
And how do you say 'Kaboom!' in your language?
Let's get this conversation started!

Cablaam sound good here. Like a something that do a double sound rounding or broking more or mouving anything else
