Last time I was at the range, I forced myself to shoot all 6 magnum buchshot rounds in rapid succession through my Winchester 12ga Defender. Even though I mentally thought through the whole procedure beforehand, firing all 6 from the shoulder in about 10 secs nearly beat me to death. I was pulling that thing into the pocket on my shoulder for all I was worth before each shot but by the end I still hurt.

It's good to know what to expect if you ever have to put a big caliber gun to use. You can't have it distract you.

Wow. 5 plain deer slugs through my Mossberg 500 were bad enough. That 6th one would have been the cherry on top of the sundae for me.

True. If I ever get stalked by an engine block or somebody wearing a triple-thickness Kevlar vest with trauma plates, I might think about picking up another Desert Eagle .50. Until then, I'll just muddle through with my 1911A1.
