I had the opportunity to fire a punt gun mounted to a small rowboat. The recoil from a 20 oz BB load sent us about 20 yards in reverse. The concussion was insane, and my ears were ringing for almost 5 hours afterwards.
The hardest kicking man portable, shoulder fired weapon I've ever fired would be a single shot .50BMG with a broken muzzle brake. The muzzle brake had a crack in the end when my buddy bought it so we hacksawed the end off and dealt with a 1 chamber muzzle brake that day... Needless to say we all had bruised shoulders, ringing ears and headaches after that range trip. He ordered a new muzzle brake the next day.
