Conservation of momentum is the law that is held true when the gunis fired and a "kick" is felt. When a bullet is fired from a gun, total momentum before is zero since nothing is moving. After firing thebullet there is a momentum in the forward direction.
The momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity.
