Can shotguns recoil really boost you in midair?

I was wondering for a while, I’ve been playing some movement FPSs so that is what sprouted this idea.

For every force there is an equal and opposite force. When you fire a gun it also ‘fires you’ with the recoil. So if you fire a gun downwards while in the air it will propel you slightly upwards but it will be so little as to be unnoticeable.
