What's the most painful gun you have fired?

[I_Like_Pie]

Pachmeyer made an add on devise for a 1911, I believe it was called a "Dominator". The one I fired (ONCE) was chambered in .308 Win. it was worse than awful.

I have seen those...many people down load them a bit.

[Guest Truck7]

M203 40mm Grenade Launcher with live ammo that sucker kicks.

[Paletiger13]

!2 gauge shotgun with pistol grip firing 3.5" magnum shells one handed! Damn near broke my hand.

know the feeling, got busted in the mouth with a pistol grip Mossberg 500. brought blood:mad:

[towerclimber37]

an old 8 gauge shotgun. I believe I was 14 at the time.

[Guest Fastzntn]

While there are no doubt guns out there that kick harder, the gun with the most painful recoil I have shot is my Mosin Nagant. The milsurp ammo seems to be in a league of its own- I shot some Prvi Partizan ammo last time out and it was more tame and grouped better.

I have shot 50 rounds of milsurp and had a bruise on my shoulder, and it was sore for days.

Last time I was at the range I took a friend- she said she wanted to look at me shoot the thing and see what the recoil was like. So I shouldered the rifle and squeezed one off. Her response- "Wow, that thing looks pretty feisty!!" Even with the softer shooting Prvi Partizan ammo, the kick still managed to displace both of the barrel bands that hold the stock on and the smaller top piece of the stock that goes above the barrel was moved forward about 2 inches.

What is it? M-44? Displacing the bands and moving top handguard forward 2 in. lets hope it isnt getting ready to blow up!

[ShaunM]

You could always try turning it the other way.

I would say a 36 inch barrel 10 gauge that I had.

I shot one of these (twice) as well but it was nowhere near a full load.

[gtssilver]

I made the guy who owned the gun shoot it before I did to make sure it did not break off my wrist! It was nowhere as bad as i thought.

[Guest eyebedam]

Well after all the mosin comments I have almost been talked out of getting 1. Those must kick like a mule.

[Rightwinger]

nah, they are not as bad as they are making them out to be.

Gotta go, my heating pad is ready and I gotta take the pain meds.

Don't know why my shoulder is aching so bad

[Guest Traumaslave]

Worst thump I ever took was from a Remington 3200, 12 gauge o/u that doubled on me while shooting trap. I was 14, 6' tall and weight in at almost 100 lbs. That one hurt a little.

It's a 91/30. The first time I shot it I thought the world was coming to an end

I don't want to talk anyone out of a Mosin if they are interested, they are fun, cheap rifles. Much of the problem is that they have a metal butt plate. I'm used to mine now and it doesn't bother me any more, but if someone were really sensitive to it the butt plate could be changed out to something that would soak up the recoil. Problem solved.

[Almond27]

I had a Mosin M-44 and IMO it didn't kick bad I was shooting Barnaul SP

[DaveTN]

Why would a 7.62X54R Mosin kick any harder than a 7.62X63 1903?

I have both and they both have steel butt plates.

I have never fired the Mosin because I’ve never ordered any ammo. I’ve shot the 03 a bunch.

[Guest Jason F.]

Long gun I guess would be one of he several Mosin variants I have had a chance to fire. They have a pretty stiff kick but I sort of like it. I like someone posted above have yet to find something that really makes me want to put it down. A single shot 45-70 Gov. was a close second.

Hand guns would have to be a Thompson Contender in 44mag with a 14" bull barrel. The load was probably a bit hot but it had some serious torque and kick. I loved it but several friends thought it to be a beast. I shot someones short barreled Smith in 44mag at one so the shoots. I forget the model number but it was a handful as well.

[Garufa]

I'm going with the Mosin, like a whole lotta other folks. It's not the kick of those first few shots. That's nothin'. The first 5, 10, or 15 shots are not a problem. For me it's a cumulation of all the rounds I put through it.

Problem is I go out and blow 50 rounds at a time. It's cheap! The stock and butt on those things are so narrow it digs into your shoulder. The pain creeps up on ya!

[323ssplt]

Long guns...Toss up

I was part of the testing for the Marine Corps to accept the Benelli M1014 Shotgun and fired 500 rounds of buckshot and slugs in two days........

M-79 thumper 40mm grenade launcher after soemthing like 30 full power loads

Both left my shoulder black and blue..although I think the nod goes to the two days of the shotgun

Handgun...handsdown 45-.70 derringer.....I really do think I broke my hand doing that one..couldn't use my hand for days afterwords

[Guest Jcochran88]

worst for me was an old side by side stevens 12 ga both barrels at a time on accident while trying to see if i could shoot it. i think i was 11 or 12 after that i bought a .410.

[Almond27]

45-70 derringer Holy!!!!

[Guest TN.Frank]

My cousin's old 16ga single shot. The stock was too short and I'd smack my nose everytime I shot it. That being said, I've shot single shot 50BMG ctgs. out if the McMilian M-88 and it wasn't that bad at all once you get use to all the gas jetting back into your face from the muzzle brake.

[molonlabetn]

Oh yeah... almost forgot... have fired both barrels of a 12ga SxS simultaneously a few times, once with some mag loads. It sucked, but the blast was awesome.

hahahahah those first few shots simply numb your shoulder.
