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.

Why do you feel a jerk in an elevator when it starts and also when it stops its motion?
When an elevator starts or stops, there is a change in acceleration which causes a shift in forces acting on your body. This sudden change can make you feel a jerk as your body adjusts to the new motion. It's similar to the sensation you feel when a car accelerates or decelerates quickly.
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 .
Why do you feel a jerk when an elevator starts and also when it stops?
Because of something called inertia, and poor mechanics. Stuff that isn't moving likes to stay that way, and stuff that is moving likes to stay that way too. So when you force it to change, like when an elevator starts and stops, it's hard to make that completely smooth.
What does the slope of jerk time indicate?
The slope of jerk time indicates the rate at which the jerk, the change in acceleration, is changing over time. A steeper slope implies a faster change in jerk and potentially more abrupt movements.
Why does a gun jerk when you fire a bullet?
Newton's 3rd law: for every action there is an equal and opposite direction reaction. The force of the bullet under acceleration reacts against the gun and therefore the gun jerks against the person holding it.
Why a gun man get a jerk on firing a bullet?
Recoil from the explosion of the charge.
