1. Import Unity Particle Pack (free)
2. Click play!

Everything should be working from there.

Key Classes

4. GunScriptableObject.cs - Applies force to IKnockbackables when bullets make impact
5. KnockbackConfigScriptableObject.cs - Houses the configuration for the knockback effect as well as calculating the
