Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

We were young and dumb down at the garbage dump. A friend that we called Anus (skinny kid)kept bugging me to shoot my .50 Hawken. I gave in and loaded it with 120 gr. FFF and two round balls!!......we had to pick him up off of the ground! Didn't ask to do any more shooting though.
 
Kick

i HAD ARE LOCAL GUN SMITH WEILD SOME RIFEL SIGHTS ON A TEN GAUGE SINGEL SHOT H&R FOR TURKEY HUNTING HOLY MOLLY WHAT A BOM DAD HAD A 375 H&H MEANEST RIFLE I EVER TRIED U GOT YOUR 20 DOLLARS WORTH OUT OF EACH SHELL WITH THAT ONE.
 
Most miserable due to poor stock design and Indian rubber butt pad has to be #5 jungle carbine .303 with 215gr factory ammo.Made a .375 H+H feel like nothing.......................Harold
 
I must be a wimp, but my Dad's Ithaca 37 Featherweight in 12 gauge. No recoil pad, just hard plastic but pad, stock is too long, and I was wearing a T-shirt. I still have the bruises.

I also shot a friend of mine's 470 Nitro Express Merkel double rifle. Not so much painful, but it felt like a rocket launcher going off. I was OK, but the muzzle jumped so much that it ended up pointing straight up. Not really an owie, but complete and utter surprise.
 
Actually, I now remember firing a Cooey 12 guage single shot that my Dad had with some Magnum loads when I was 10 years old. I remember actually landing on my back with the barrel pointing up in the sky. I seemed to like my first 20 guage a lot more. My Dad also had a SXS 12 guage Baikal that use to crack you in the knuckles with the trigger guard every time you fired it.
 
As it stands, my 300 wsm. A number of years ago, before I was 16 I think somebody offered to let me shoot their 10 ga SxS. My dad being the voice of reason said its probably not a good idea, I listened and now that I know more about guns I definitely think I made the right decision that day lol.
 
Savage 210.
It's a 12 guage bolt action, chambered for 3" shells only. For some reason, Savage only put their s****y hard rubber butt pad on it. Having fired 3" slugs from my 870 before, I had no clue what to expect when I fired it, but the first shot was one hell of a surprise! My whole arm went numb. 3 shots was all I could put through it, and I started flinching.
I put a Limbsaver slip-on recoil pad on it, now it kicks like a 300Win mag. Still rough, but reasonable.
By the way, if you're looking for an accurate slug gun, this is it. On a life size deer anatomy target at 100metres, 3 out of 3 shots in the heart, every time (about 4moa)
 
Sako TRG in 338 Lapua off the bench bags with only my right hand on the stock. That rifle came back so fast the scope caught me on the bridge of my nose breaking it. Glasses knocked off, blood dripping down my face, my buddy giggling, the only thought I had was I had better have hit the friggin' target... I did.
 
FNC1A1 with gas regulator on fully closed position and/or a Mauser K98 with full charge European military ball rounds. Both fired prone, both made cheek hurt. Only happened with two particular rifles, out of many fired on several occasions. Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine also gets honourable mention.
