After firing the bullet, the bullet moves forward with a large momentum and the gun moves backward with equal momentum.
Let m and M be the masses of bullet and gun,respectively. If v and V are the velocities of the bullet and gun, respectively after the firing then:-
0= mv+ MV
Therefore V=-mv/M
The negative sign indicates that the gun moves in a direction to that of the bullet.
