In many of the shows, books, games I experience, whenever fire is shown as a weapon by itself, it always seems to have physical force. It will knock the enemy back or will slam them into the ground in shows or games like Avatar and Dark Souls. Can it could actually have force enough to push someone back? If not why is it portrayed that way all the time?
I could never actually imagine fire doing having enough power to slam someone back. I always think it would just go onto you or gloss over/around you and light you on fire.

The heated gas expands which does push things outwards. This is how both guns and engines work. Films do show this to an even more dramatic effect but it is something that would happen in real life as well.
