Newton's third law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Related to shooting a gun, this means that the force you feel from the recoil is the same amount of force delivered to the target. Not sure if this is what you're asking, but how this translates is, if you shoot a person, the amount of recoil delivered into the person's body is equal to what you feel from the firearm. Since the force did not knock you down, the equal and opposite force of the impact itself will not knock down then person who is shot. The reason the person falls down is either because he thinks he has to, or because of blood loss.

When shooting a shotgun, the force generated by the expanding gases pushing the shot out of the barrel is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied to the shooter's shoulder, as per Newton's Third Law. This recoil force experienced by the shooter is a direct result of the action of the gun expelling the shot.
it because if the powder that pushes the bullet out and pushes the gun to yank back
Newton's third law of motion is called the "Law of Action and Reaction." It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The reaction force is 100 newtons exerted by the crate on the boy in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).
The ball exerts an equal and opposite force of 8 newtons on the bat, according to Newton's third law of motion. So, the force exerted by the ball on the bat is also 8 newtons.
Another name for Newton's third law of motion is the law of action and reaction. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's third law of motion is also called the law of action and reaction. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
