When a gun is fired, the gunpowder ignites and expands rapidly, pushing the bullet out of the barrel in one direction. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, when the bullet is pushed out of the barrel, an equal force is applied in the opposite direction, causing the gun to recoil backwards.
