It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.

∙ 13y agoWhen a bullet is fired from a gun, it creates a sudden release of gases that exert a force on the gun's barrel and action system. This force, known as recoil, causes the gun to jerk backward in the opposite direction of the bullet's motion. The jerk is a result of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When a bullet is fired from a gun, Newton's third law is applied as the bullet and the gun experience equal and opposite forces. The force pushing the bullet out of the gun is equal to the force pushing the gun backward, causing recoil. This relationship between the bullet and the gun follows the principle of momentum conservation.
No. The recoil from such a gun would kill you. action and reaction. Bullet would stand still, gun would move.
=it is newtons third law of motion which states=="for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"==when a gun is fired the bullet moves in the forward direction which is action whereas the gun recoils in the backward direction which is the reaction......................=
cocking a gun is when you pull the slide of a gun back and forwards once to get a bullet into the chamber to fire
No. Yes. All you have to do is strike the bullet's primer with a sharp corner of the gun.
The bore of a gun relates to the diameter of the hole in the barrel - and in turn the diameter of the bullet the gun can fire.

IIRC, yes.
No, it does not. It has an arc, the same as a bullet fired from a gun does.
