Because momentum is conserved, why?

No, the speed of the bullet is much higher. The total force is the same. The bullet has lower mass than the gun so would be accelerated more than the gun.

That doesn't sound right to me. Force will be conserved, sure, (ie action-reaction) but the speed of both the bullet and the gun should be determined by the mass of each relative object.

Been a while since I studied Physics, but I'm almost sure about that.

the bullet will have left the barrel befor the recoil is felt
