This may sound dumb to some folks, but lets say I fire a gun. 1000N of force goes into the bullet, and another 1000N of force goes into my body. Even if i strap the gun to the ground, it will just apply 1000N of force to move the earth by a tiny amount. Because of this, does it mean that it isn’t possible to have 2000N of force going to the bullet with the same parameters as before?

Your question doesn’t make sense.
***Every*** reaction has an equal and opposite reaction.
No matter how powerful you make the gun, an ***exactly equal*** amount of force also happens in the opposite direction.
