Yes. Recoil is the REACTION to an ACTION. When a projectile is pushed in one direction, the thing pushing it is pushed back an equal amount (just in the opposite direction). Of course, the launcher is much heavier than the projectile, and so it will move proportionately less. Rockets generally have no recoil, since they are pushing themselves, and the launcher is not pushing.
