To hammer a LWSS, MWSS or HWSS is to smash reactions into the rear end of it in order to transform it into a different type of spaceship. A hammer is the object or reaction used to do the hammering.

In the following example by Dieter Leithner, a LWSS is hammered by two more LWSS to make it into a MWSS:

x = 20, y = 6, rule = B3/S23 o2bo$4bo3b2o$o3bo2b3o5b4o$b4o2b2obo4bo3bo$8b3o4bo$9bo6bo2bo! #C [[ THUMBSIZE 2 THEME 6 GRID GRIDMAJOR 0 SUPPRESS THUMBLAUNCH ]] #C [[ HEIGHT 400 THUMBSIZE 2 ZOOM 16 Y 6 THEME Book GPS 4 AUTOSTART T 0 PAUSE 3 T 16 PAUSE 1 LOOP 17 ]]
