I'll have to enter two categories. Under Sharpest/Most painful I have to nominate the Ruger Blackhawk in 30 Carbine. That little monster will peel paint off a wall.
Under Most Powerful Blast, I have no hesitation in naming the 585 Nyati rifle I shot twice. With its muzzle brake on, it would knock hats off people standing nearby - and the pressure wave felt like getting punched in the chest. The recoil, BTW, was calculated to be just about like a 458 Win. With the removable brake off the gun, it supposedly went double that: something like 250 ft-lbs of recoil energy. It was a modified Win 70 weighing about 12 pounds - and it launched a 900 grain bullet at 2400 fps. Ouch.
