Ok, so not too big but it still hurt. When I was 14 I got to fire 2 shots from a buddy's 30-06, it weighed about 6.75lbs and it was a lefty gun (very uncomfortable for a righty} it was -30 degrees and I had no hat or gloves. Frostbitten from head to toe, I rested the gun on a bench and fired at the 100yd target. I hit pretty close to the bullseye, but that HURT!!! Needless to say I was was a little bruised.
