Sure the recoil would exist, but of course Puke (and Thermo - posting as I write) is right - that recoil is extremely small because the emissions are photons, not metal bullets. The damage is done by burning from concentrated high-energy photons, not by kinetic energy imparted by the mass of the photons.

You'd have an extremely powerful laser before you'd have to worry much about recoil from the beam itself.
