This is a ricochet sound effect that was used by sound designer and editor Phil Kaye. Although Kaye used it as his trademark ricochet sound, it's originally an Capitol Records sound effect that was designed for the 1949 children's record "Bugs Bunny in Storyland". There are two versions: the original version with a cork pop preceding the ricochet, and an alternate version with an edited version of said cork pop preceding it. The effect is also included in Oooops! You Tilted!!.
An edited version of this shouldn't be confused for the 2nd part of CARTOON, ZIP - WIND UP AND ZIP OUT. A slowed-down edit of this sound effect was released on the Valentino library, known as Comedy effect - zip #2.. This sound effect is also included in WHIZZ 01, which can be found on the De Wolfe Classic Sound Effects Library.
