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.
The total momentum of the bullet and the gun before firing is zero, as the gun and the bullet are at rest. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and since both the gun and the bullet are not moving, their momentum is zero.
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.
When a bullet is fired from a gun, Newton's third law is applied as the bullet and the gun experience equal and opposite forces. The force pushing the bullet out of the gun is equal to the force pushing the gun backward, causing recoil. This relationship between the bullet and the gun follows the principle of momentum conservation.
The recoil velocity of a gun can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum. The formula to calculate the recoil velocity is: Recoil velocity = (mass of bullet * velocity of bullet) / mass of gun. This formula takes into account the mass of the bullet, the velocity of the bullet, and the mass of the 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 .
Recoil from the explosion of the charge.
It's the recoil from the force of the bullet being fired. The gun powder pushes the bullet forward and also equally pushes the gun back into your hand.
According to the law of action and reaction, the bullet and the gun absorb the same amount of energy, just in inverse diretions. But the bullet is much lighter and thus will go much faster.

No. The recoil from such a gun would kill you. action and reaction. Bullet would stand still, gun would move.
A gunman experiences a jerk when firing a bullet due to the rapid acceleration of the bullet as it exits the barrel, which creates a sudden force. This force is a result of Newton's third law of motion, where the action of the bullet moving forward generates an equal and opposite reaction that pushes back against the gunman. Additionally, the recoil of the firearm contributes to the jerk, as the gun shifts backward in response to the bullet's discharge. Overall, the combination of these forces results in the noticeable jerk felt by the shooter.
cocking a gun is when you pull the slide of a gun back and forwards once to get a bullet into the chamber to fire
No. Yes. All you have to do is strike the bullet's primer with a sharp corner of the gun.
The bore of a gun relates to the diameter of the hole in the barrel - and in turn the diameter of the bullet the gun can fire.
No

IIRC, yes.
