What was the first firearm you ever shot?

I am curious to hear everyone’s stories, what was the very first firearm you ever shot and how did it go?

My father's Winchester Model 12, 12 ga. I was sitting beside him on the ground, probably 9 years old & dad handed me the shotgun. Of course the length of pull was beyond me but I managed to reach the trigger & it laid my back to the ground. Don't remember it hurting my shoulder but I was amazed it moved me like it did.
