    Every bone in your hand and wrist broken? I carry a .45-70 rifle when I hike and it kicks like a mule.

    EDIT: This is what I carry (Marlin 1895 SBL). Same ammo. Notice the slight size difference, and this is meant to be compact and easy to carry.

      And probably some severe bruising to the face, if not broken bones there too.

      Had a friend that had a single shot, it was basically a tube with plastic stock. I shot it once. It left a bruise. Any big cartridge I’ve shot since has been from a heavy gun.
