On the topic of artillery pieces, my rather warmly loaded 416 Rigby does not exactly tippity tap on ones shoulder, either. That said, I am certain that the 505 Gibbs is a whole 'nutha kinda monster.

I fired an 8 bore punt gun once, when I was about 18. It rocked me back three full steps. If I had not stepped back quickly under the recoil, I would have ended up on my butt.
