Unsure of your question. There are several forces. When the gun is fired, one force- expanding gasses from the burning gunpowder, pushes the bullet forward out of the barrel. PART of that force is diverted to extract the fired cartridge case, and to load a fresh cartridge. The ACTION of driving the bullet forward is matched by a REACTION- the recoil or "kick" of the firearm being pushed back.
