The slow moving train has a much higher mass than the high-speed bullet, but the bullet has a faster velocity than the slow moving train so their momentum is the same.
Momentum is the product of velocity and mass.
This is conservation of momentum. You have the hot gases from the explosive charge along with the bullet moving out the barrel, away from the person. Momentum is mass times velocity. While the mass of the bullet and gases are small, the velocity is very high. So nothing was moving before the trigger was pulled, so net momentum is zero. After the trigger is pulled, the momentum is still net zero. Any momentum away from the gunner will have an equal momentum (the gun recoiling) toward him. Since the gun has much more mass than the bullet, the velocity is much less.
momentum=velocity x mass say a golf ball weighs 1 pound and the bowling ball weighs 5 pounds the golf ball would have to be moving 5 times faster than the bowling ball to have the same momentum
when a bullet strikes the glass pane with a high velocity, the larger part of the glass plane do not get enough time to share the momentum due to inertia of rest and only that part which is in contact of the bullet is blown off according to the law of conservation of momentum But when a slow moving stone strikes the glass plane a larger part of the glass is able to share the momentum and therefore it smashes the glass

It depends on how fast each is going and how much each weighs. Momentum is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its speed. A tiny bullet moving very fast can have more momentum than a huge truck if the truck is moving very slowly (or not at all). (bullet mass) X (bullet speed) > (truck mass) X (truck speed)

The formula is, quite simply, that the momentum before and after the shot is the same. You can assume that the momentum before the shot is zero (because the rifle and the bullet were not moving), so after the shot, the total momentum will also be zero.
Momentum is speed or force of movement and it is defined as moving body. Momentum must have both mass and velocity. Examples of momentum include if a car and big truck are rolling down a hill, the truck will roll faster. A bullet has a lot of momentum with a small mass.
Use conservation of linear momentum. Before firing the bullet the total momentum was zero (assuming you were not moving), therefore, after firing the bullet, the total momentum must needs also be zero. Therefore, after the shot, m1v1 + m2v2 = 0, where m1 and v1 correspond to the pistol, and m2 and v2 correspond to the bullet.
Each of those items has large momentum and kinetic energy ... the bullet because of its high speed, and the train on account of its large mass.
You because the product of your mass and velocity will be higher than that of a bullet

The product of mass and velocity determines the momentum of a moving body.
