Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

Bah!!!! Weatherby, .5O M2HB, 12G, Just a few months ago I fired my friends .55 BOYS ANTI TANK RIFLE.

Now that was different, I,m a lefty so I had to also shoot it with my weak side.

Unfortunetly the matter is in the courts now as he later refused to pay for the poopie damage that was done to my boxers at the time.

Yes, the T-rex!! I have a bunch of those vidoes!!:D :D :D
I showed my 2 yr old son that video and he thought it was funny!:p
Now is it just me or did that guy's technique really suck!:eek:
No wonder it knocked him over.
It didn't look like it was tight in the shoulder at all.:rolleyes:
Mind you, the kaftan probably doesn't help........makes you shoot like a girl!:D
 
.340 weatherby magnum, my dad's gun.

he liked to play tricks on friends, he'd have them out to the range to shoot, and have 2 different loads for the gun. First, he'd shoot a bullseye or two with the light load. Then his friend would see what he did, and say 'I can do that' My dad hands him the rifle, and one of the factory loads......BOOM....... cursing ensues.
 
Most recoil = full-house .458 Win Mag, 500 grain

Most painful to shoot = an old Savage 110 .30-06 with a fiendishly narrow buttplate. I fired a few rounds helping a fellow shooter sight it in at Phoenix and was actually relieved to go back to my 7mm STW....
 
My Tikka 458wm for the more recoil. The most pain (besides the scope cut :redface: ) would be 30 rnds prone with my friends Enfield MK4 #2 (non-sporterized)
 
A fella at Phoenix had a .303 Brit bolt action pistol.....that was a little much in the kick department.

My stainless H&R topper (the lip-kicker) 12g. Because it doesnt fit me right it is the most uncomfortable gun for me to shoot. I always get bruised with it. My 358 Norma was easier to shoot.
 
Well, I don't know about the most recoil, but I went trap shooting one day and was using my mate's 1930's BSA side-by-side 12g.:(
It's a lovely piece but back then men were men and buttplates were brass.
My technique was ok when I was shooting single trap but when we started the double trap section I began to drop it off my shoulder and against my bicep from time to time.
I ended up with a bruise on my bicep the size of a grapefruit that was every colour of the rainbow.:eek:
That night, before going back on the Sunday to shoot trap again my mate knocked together a recoil pad with high impact foam which he found made things much better.
And that was with trap loads!:rolleyes:
 
Hardest ever was a 3" magnum Winchester slug I fired from my Winchester Ranger Pump Shotgun. I was standing there, unsupported and took the shot at the target and almost dropped the gun trying to get it down on the ground. My hands were shaking (actually all of me was). Shoulder hurt something fierce so I looked at it and there was blood on the surface of my shoulder in the perfect design that the recoil pad had on it.
So, my friend was standing there and was saying, "Ah, ya WIMP" and picks up the shotgun, puts it to his shoulder and without even setting it in right, pulls the trigger. What do you think happened? Yep, hands shaking, trying to get the gun on the ground before he dropped it. With a smile on my face I didn't say a single thing. Oh, and of course, looked at his shoulder and there was the blood in the exact same pattern on his shoulder.
