when a bullet is shot from a gun, the velocity of recoil of the gun is much less than the velocity of which the bullet moves out . Is it a violation of law of conservation of momentum?

Explanation:
That means the gun must be moving backwards at 0.5 metres/sec due to the recoil in order to conserve momentum. That means the bullet will have of kinetic energy whilst the gun will have J of kinetic energy. In essence, that's why the bullet kills the target and the gun doesn't do the same to the firer.
