Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Newton's third law of motion states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction which acts on two different bodies." When the bullet is released from the gun with a very high force, the gun produces an opposite force of the same magnitude. Due to the high mass of the gun, it moves only a short distance backwards, resulting in the gunman experiencing a jerk.
