Worst recoiling gun you've shot.

My buddy in MS had a Scandium .38 Special S&W revolver. Cyliner was titanium and it was super light. He loaded up some +P+ 158gr loads for it and it was brutal. Felt like someone slapped my palm with a 2X4.

40 years ago, right after high school, I purchased a "sporterized" 8mm Mauser K98 at a pawn shop and a box of ammunition. It was the first real firearm I owned; I had fired a .410 shotgun at clays with adult supervision years before, so I thought the rifle would be about the same. An open field surrounded by hills was where I was told was a good place to shoot. I loaded the rifle, closed the bolt, took aim at the cardboard box I had set up, and....Kr-AAAK! Good God! It was like a thunderclap a foot from my ears, plus the kick took me by surprise. I didn't know to pull the butt tightly against my shoulder, nor was "hearing protection" a big thing in the early 1980s. Not only was my shoulder sore, but I couldn't hear anything for several minutes. It was like somebody had snuck up behind me and whacked me on the back of the head with a 2 x 4.

Diamondback db9. It’s like high five with a hammer

Any air weight revolver in .357 or larger caliber with tiny stock grips. My S&W 360 PD with hot .357 loads and stock grips destroys the center of my palm. One cylinder is enough.

Ruger 77 30-06 for what it is. Unexpected.

100 year old 16 gauge single shot that belonged to my great granddaddy. My grand father used to say it killed on one end and crippled on the other.
