the act of striking someone with the buttstock of a rifle, carbine, or shotgun. This is in contrast to "pistol-whip," which is the act of striking someone with a handgun, while gripping either the handgrip or the barrel/slide, but more commonly the latter.
"The brave Marine, having expended his last magazine, but lacking a bayonet, saw fit to buttstroke the charging enemy combatant."

the action of hitting someone very hard in the face, gut, genitalia or other highly sensitive area (typically gender specific) with the butt of a rifle, shotgun, pistol or other firearm with a designated "butt".

1. The act of striking an opponent with the butt end (rear) of a rifle or other similar shoulder-fired weapon. Used in the absence of a bayonet or conditions that prevent its effective use. Can often be seen in FPS games as the default melee attack when using a rifle type of weapon, in the absence of a knife attack.
2. A method for clearing a firearm, specifically a stocked rifle or a shotgun, when dealing with a stuck bolt or case preventing the bolt from being effectively retracted. The charging handle is gripped firmly and the weapon is slammed down on the ground, butt-end first, to aid in either extracting the case, or releasing the casehead from the bolt face. Generally a sign of poor ammunition or weapon maintenance.

Slang for when someone propels themselves through a still body of water, usually a swimming pool, entirely by passing gas.
This amazing and talented young woman apparently has the most powerful farts on the planet; I watched her doing the buttstroke the entire length of the high school gym pool!
