How are Newton's laws applied when a bullet is fired from a gun which recoils?

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.
