Bang into

Answer:

RAM

Hint:

Think of a forceful action often done by a male sheep or a heavy vehicle used in construction.

Explanation:

Bang into" is a playful hint for "RAM," since "ram" can mean to strike something forcefully, like a car crashing into another. It also works as a double meaning—the word "ram" itself is a male sheep known for charging headfirst, reinforcing the idea of a hard collision. The clue keeps it simple by focusing on the action rather than the animal.
