Is a machine gun jetpack possible?
Sadly not. It just isn’t going to happen as no machine gun has the power to lift someone off the ground let alone be a jetpack. Nor would you be able to feed enough ammo reliably enough to keep it going.

Automatic weapon that continues firing after the trigger is released; caused by a defect in some part of its mechanism.
Can recoil make you fly?
No, but if you aren’t braced for the recoil you can land on your butt. That only happens in Hollywood movies. If you were not prepared for it, a gun might knock you back a step, or make you drop the gun, even make you fall on your butt. You won’t go flying through the air though.
