Depends on the caliber and many other factors.

Shooting a .22 out of a long barreled rifle is very tame, like a pellet gun.

Larger rounds have more recoil and noise. Intermediate calibers such as 5.56 to 7.62x39 have moderate recoil.

Battle rifle rounds such as 7.62x51 and 54R can kick quite a bit. firing a Mosin nagant with the steel buttplate wearing a T-shirt can be uncomfortable to downright painful and can leave a bruise if you don't shoulder it properly.
