You're talking about the Impact Hammer. Here's a post (from CliffyB no
less) I found on http://forums.gtgames.com/ that explains how to use it:

*****************************************************************************
Okay, I go onto a lot of servers and I see people not knowing how to use
this gun. It is covered in the tutorial that ships with UT, which we did
not include in the demo, so you get to hear it straight from me on how
to use it.

1. Press fire.
2. Hold fire. (KEEP IT HELD! NEVER LET GO!)
3. Walk up to and touch someone.
4. POP!

There.

Now, the alt fire can deflect projectiles, but it is extremely hard to
do. If you're starting off I'd suggest using the regular fire for
offense.

You can charge the regular fire of the hammer and look down, release,
and jump to get a nice impact jump. This is how you get the Damage Amp
in Turbine.
*****************************************************************************

Good advice, although I use the secondary fire for impact jumps, as it
seems to cause less damage. Oh, and BTW, the ASMD is now known as the
Shock Rifle.

HTH,
