It would work. Only, you'd go spinning really fast when you fired it... and that'd probably send your brain into a major stupor.

---

you mean the gun would move around the bullet?

---

  No, you'll experience the same force in the opposite direction, effectively. Unless you hold it exactly central to your body, you'll go spinning backwards really quite fast. Chances are you'd be forced unconscious, or at least temporarily blind.

 I highly doubt that it would be that severe. Guns dont knock you over on earth so they certainly wont send you spinning at deadly rates.

---

Actually, it would be that severe. There's friction on Earth.

And more significantly, gravity and thus weight. You have practically (let's not ignore the minimal amount of gravity in the universe wide) no resistance to the energy release from the gun, which even on earth launches bullets at at least 700mph. You'll spin and/or travel at pretty much the same speed.
