Whats the hardest kicking gun you ever fired?

45-70 and 50cal sav

For me its a toss between my ruger #1 45-70 with a cast bullet 465g@2200fps that load realy smarts or savage10mlII 50cal 300g Barnes over 60g vitavory h120 @ 2400fps but shoots clovers @ 100y.
 
10 gauge double, but not both barrels im not mental! when i was 12 years old
its not so bad now
although the story is my great grandfather accidentally fired both barrels (this same gun)while duck hunting and it broke his nose
 
my IGA coach gun both barrels at once, left me with quite the bleeder

The hardest kicking gun I have fired, bar none, was a 45/70. DERRINGER! (One of those over/under jobs with 45/70 on the upper barrel and a .410/.45 Colt on the bottom.)

What was it like? Imagine slamming the car door on your hand.....:runaway:
 
The hardest kicking ''gun'' I fired was the 76mm gun on a Sherman tank back in the mid 60's at camp Petawawa. The Centurian was the ''king of the hill''
with it's 105mm gun but they wouldn't let us near it.

Next to that, it was a revolver in 50-70 caliber. What a brute!
 
Not a kick, but I can't think of what you would call this. As a young teenager almost 50 years ago, snapping my Dad's Parker 12 g. double closed and having both barrels go off. The gun went back on a 45 degree angle for God knows how many feet and I damn near pissed myself. Learned some important lessons though - don't snap break action guns closed (the gunsmith who fixed it told me everyone did it but no one should - just close it and release the locking mechanism), and don't have your finger in the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot (the guard sure did a job on the back of my finger).

How about we change this to something like whats the hardest kicking women weve ever been with.

Might at least make it more interesting.

Hell after the guy said artillery there's not much else really to talk about.

Maybe one of the pilots who dropped a bombs little boy and fat man on Japan will find his way here.

"Ya when we used the a-bomb on Japan that day, man did that round kick"
:rolleyes:
 
You'll love this...

My 30/30 Marlin 30as. I shoot everything from 12 Guages to 7mm mag but that 30/30 was a beast. Even my cousin found that. It was quite new and had micro-groove. Perhaps it's because it's so light??? Sold it anyway!
Also, my Ranger 120 kicks pretty good with slugs but it has a recoil pad.

Winchester turkey load, even though it was a 3" shell it had 2oz of shot in it and holy crap HUGE difference between those turkey loads and some light target loads ( i was out busting some clays before i patterened my gun with these shells)
 
3" 00 buck out of a break action cooey 12g. One shot was good for a laugh, two shots was good for the day. My k98 I could shoot all day offhand but in a t-shirt off the bench it'll bite if you don't shoulder it right.
 
Ruger #1 in 458 Lott, thought I busted my darn shoulder, followed closely by a Mossberg 695 Bolt gun, shooting 3" magnum slugs, Recoil busted my glasses as I have a bad habit of creeping up on the scope. Needless to say right after, I put a thick puss pad on the butt to absorb some of the recoil. Les
