The backward movement of the gun is called the recoil of the gun.

Answer 2

On release of a bullet from the gun the gun moves to back slightly this motion is called as the recoil.

This happens on the basis of the third law of motion by Sir Isaac Newton which states that,

• Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Due to this above mentioned law of motion,the applied force on the bullet in the front direction creates a backward force also which is known as the recoil of the gun.
