Not unless the guy who shot it is sent careening backwards as well - Newton's third law of motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Well, that only applies to forces, if the guy firing the bullet's an absolute tank (as all action heroes are to be assumed as) then they'd would have far less acceleration and not be thrown back.
