Why does a gun kick upwards?

* Recoil travels directly backwards along the axis of the gun's barrel. * Because this momentum is transmitted through the body of the weapon and the support is often below this line (i.e. the grip is below the barrel), the force is turned into a torque around the pivot - normally where the butt rests on the shoulder or the wrist for a pistol. * The gun is spun upwards, and by the same effect outwards from the centre of the body (the hips and back are the pivot point, the shoulders are where the force is applied).
