Those little shotguns are fun…but concussive! Whatever about the actual recoil, I’m a bit of a masochist for recoil, but damn those shorties are hard on the head with full-house loads. I’ve had a 14 inch pump gun and 12 inch side by side and they rattle your cage pretty good…all the more with 3 inch goose shells and no hearing protection, firing both barrels at the same time (when I was younger and dumber) 😅.

“Dang that’s loud!”

“What?”

“It’s loud!”

“What about the cloud?”

“No, no, LOUD!!!”

“Oh yes, the snow has been plowed….”

I don’t mind it with my ear muffs on, but I forgot I wasn’t wearing them once and I could best describe the noise as a “sharp crack”. I’ve also one handed a 3” steel shot slug, that one is probably coming back in a few years.
