I'd like to be able to do it more than once. I'm not joking or exaggerating the recoil, BTW. Unless it's mousefart weak, trying to shoot that would simply kill you.
a 40mm diameter cylinder 40mm long would weigh about 1.25 pounds or 8800 grains. If it were fired at a mere 1000 fps out of a 6.5 lb gun the recoil energy would be over 4200 ft-lb.
How much is that? Well, a normal 12ga is about 24 ft-lb. A really hot magnum 12ga slug is about 50 ft-lb. A .600 Nitro Express--an elephant gun considered overpowered by professional hunters--is about 150 ft-lb.
This is a whole new order of magnitude. It's quite literally the same as shooting 84 of the hottest 12ga slugs simultaneously.
If you attempt this, make sure to film it.
