I guess one could argue the "perceived" recoil on a 1100 might be less because of the auto-loading mechanism might distribute recoil to other parts or lengthen the time for the same impact period but
being their weight is also nearly identical I would say they are really the same. How bad is subjective and also depends on caliber, load, etc. BUT if someone hasn't taught you how to hold a shotgun up tight it'll beat the heck out of you.
