Answer:
When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun recoils, i.e., moves in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the bullet. The recoil velocity of the gun can be calculated from the principle of conservation of linear momentum. ... Therefore, linear momentum before firing equal to zero.

Answer:
total momentum
Explanation:
The total momentum of a system is conserved if there are no outside forces acting on it. Gun recoil results from conservation of total momentum of the bullet-gun system: the backward recoil gun momentum balances the forward bullet momentum to maintain zero total momentum.
