Recoil in fire arms... action and reaction.

Good day.

Have never seen otherwise than the barrel tip rising when a gun is fired.  There is other orientations that do not happen, as sideways, downward...

Perhaps is different in artillery but;  why is the typical recoil producing that upwards motion ?

The center line of the barrel in many guns is above the center of mass of the weapon resulting in the muzzle of the gun to rise.
