[sonier]

I had loaded a T/C.50 cal hawken, then forgot, 3 months later i fired 4 caps to make sure it was empty, reloaded a mild load and fired................this has a brass buttplate, im 5'8 135

 

[memphisjim]

personally a coach gun double 3inch slugs
but i imagine it fails in comparison to my dads story of being 8years old and having his grandfather tell him to try out his 8 gauge!

 

[1357MAG]

12 gauge Mossberg 835 w/ 3 1/2" #6 turkey loads. Cheek and shoulder sore.
Caution: Do not shoot this on the morning of a hangover. I know by experience.

My uncle let me shoot his 10 guage single shot once when I was around 8 or 9. The only shells we had for it were 3 1/2". It kicked so bad that it knocked me down.

Me and a buddy and his brother were shooting rabbits in his granddads garden back when we were in middle school (I think). My friend and his brother dared me to light off both barrels of an old 12g sxs. Of course I was obligated to, so I did.

In that one instance, that was the hardest kicking gun I ever shot.

Ithaca Model 300 recoil operated 12 ga.
That thing could kick the salt out of a bisquit.

This one... in this configuration, shot single handed with 3" magnum solid slugs... fired two or three in a row that way... just to know what it'd be like if/when I needed to do so (thankfully... I haven't). Let's just say... it gets your attention. It was my building entry/search weapon at the time.

Winchester 1200 Police 12 ga 18" smooth barrel, no choke, flip up rifled sight, 3" magnum.

Hardest kicking gun you've ever shot?

An old GEO Worthington 12 gauge single, it had to have had 3" of drop and the stock was cut straight.

A real bruiser.

 

[ifit]

a guy at the range asked if i wanted to tryout his shot gun that he has not shot in like 10 years, when i pulled the trigger i was ike W-T-F was that? he told me its 3-1/2 inch shells nobody else wanted to shoot it so i finished of his last 6 rounds of 31/2, next day bodyache, shotgun if i remember correctly was a mossberg 835

 

[XxWINxX94]

I've got an old Ranger model 30x (Stevens 5-- something) in 16 gauge with a recoil pad thats beat to hell. After a few slugs, my shoulder starts to hurt.

Rifle: Winchester model 70 XTR in 338 WIN MAG

Pistol: Contender in 45-70 gov't

 

[BADUNAME37]

460 Weatherby Magnum and a S&W 500 4" barrel.
One is mine, the other is not mine.

 

[Nushif]

Mossberg 500 with wooden stocks and no dampening pads or the like and 3" slugs. That was fun.

 

[shooterfromtexas]

9mm +p LOL

 

[copdills]

My Grandfathers single barrel 12 ga Carolina Steel shotgun , I don't know how old it is but it's a pinned barrel shotgun , I hurt my back shooting that thing years ago and have never even thought about shooting it again

 

[mjyeagle]

the hardest kick i get is with my franchi semi auto shotgun with my 3 1/2 buckshot handloads i have a 375 rum and the shotgun with these loads kicks way harder than any 375 load the shotgun is very light but these loads are very fun

4 bore

4 bore, black powder double rifle, never again. Tom

This 50BMG bullpup zip gun abortion with no muzzle brake.
It's pretty much a bare Browning M2 machine gun barrel that you throw over your shoulder and fire it like a LAWS rocket. There is no real frame or receiver. Just a barrel with an end cap on it.

I thought it was going to break my collar bone.

The muzzle rotated upward well past vertical and was pointing rearward as I stumbled backwards trying to keep the whole thing from flipping me over on my ass.

An old 12 gauge H & R Topper single shot loaded with 3" 00 buck when I was 13 years old. First shot was at the biggest deer...still...I have ever seen in my life. Once the adrenaline wore off (and the deer ran away), I couldn't move my shoulder!

 

[bowman1962]

12 guage H&R Topper ( Long Tom )

I still twitch at the thought of that danged ol shotgun
The gun had a 36in. Full choke barrel and weighed almost nothing. My friends and I would test our 12yr. old MANHOOD by seeing who could shoot the most 3in. slugs through it before the first one would either shed tears or blood !!

 

[4570Tom]

10 gauge single shot break open shotgun. 3.5 inch slug. Once.
