Why does a boat move backwards when a man steps out of the boat?

The force used when you step from a boat creates an equal reaction on the boat, which has very little friction with the water. If the boat were on the beach, friction with the sand would prevent it from moving very much.

A man standing in a boat fires horizontally would the boat move in the direction of fire or none?
Newton's Third Law: For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. The boat (and man) would receive an impulse force opposite to the direction of firing. The boat would move opposite to the direction of firing. To determine how much, you would need to consider the relative masses of the boat/man vs the bullet, and include the duration of the impulse. (The boat would probably not move far, but it would move.)
