It isn't.
Gravity is always acting on the bullet, from the time it rests on the breech to the time it hits target, and every point in between.
At the beginning of its motion, the bullet has velocity in a particular direction. Gravity accelerates the bullet 'downwards' and alters the velocity at each point in time and space. Eventually, the combination of the previous motion and the present velocity makes it strike a target, at which point forces in the target and bullet result in all motion ceasing, and these forces become balanced.

Why a gunman jerk in backward direction while firing gun?
It is because of newton's third law ...... According to this law , every action has an equal and opposite reaction . Therefore , when a gun is shot ( here the action force ) , the bullet is fired out (released) from the gun with a high force . As a result the gun has to produce equal and opposite reaction . As a result , the gun jerks back ....... In order to reduce the " recoil " of the gun ,the mass of the gun is increased . That's why guns are usually heavy weighted .
