The recoil of a gun is based on the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum, i.e., m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2.
However, Newton's Third Law of Motion can also be considered as it can be proved from the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum.

A gun recoils when a bullet is fired from it; When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun exerts a force on the bullet in the forward direction. This is the action force. The bullet also exerts an equal force on the gun in the backward direction.

The Newtons Third law states that " For Every Action, There is an Equal and opposite Reaction ".
And the force at which the bullet is fired, The same force will be felt at the recoil, opposite to the direction of the bullet.
