The rather odd, and gender-neutral expression of old rural Texas is that it "jars muh milk". That describes the overall unsettled discomfort that comes from being old, and having your old-ness disturbed by any violent movement to, or of the person. My first experience was when I discovered that I was flinching so bad from a 97 riot gun, that I was short-shucking it, and causing it to malf. Then the latest in a long line of 7.62 battle rifles became intolerable to "muh milk". Both of these guns were icons of my entire life, and it wasn't easy to walk away. But I won't have a gun I won't shoot, and I won't shoot a gun I won't practice with. My current top recoiler is an AK-47, and given my druthers, I'll grab the M1 Carbine. A few rounds of .44mag is the handgun limit, with .45acp as the upper standard for general usage.
