How far away will you be able to see Muzzle Flash. I saw a myth busters where military ammo was compared to Hollywood ammo.
I couldn't find the episode on youtube, but I remember you couldn't see a muzzle flash (military) very far away.
We using Hollywood ammo or Military?
There is no visible muzzle flash in either of the above videos.
Now I am not a firearm expert by any stretch of the imagination, but the muzzle flash did look out of place and was one of the few issues I had with the beta footage - I think a small puff of smoke would be much more realistic than any kind of muzzle flash, save perhaps the nighttime maps.
But maybe I'm way off - someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
The devs stated several times that it is hard to capture the muzzle flash of a weapon on video due to that fact that it is there only for a very short time, often being visible for less time than the camera needs to take two individual frames of the video. This is the reason why YouTube videos are no good source of information concerning muzzle flashes.

Youtube videos are a bad example, muzzle flash is a quick event and the frames of the video with the flash could be easily missing because of the poor quality.
Maybe not explaining it right lol but it's like this..

It looks like it's floating because that position of the rotor matches FPS of the video.
Alright, that makes sense, thanks for correcting me - still not really a fan of the effect, but it isn't that big of a deal. At least it's much better than the muzzle flashes in Arma.. good god are those horrendous.
I am seriously doubting Mr. "Metal rules!!!" is licensed to own title II weapons.
The amount of videos showing rednecks firing mg34's in the woods is creeping me out. Half these people are in "good ole boy" territory where the one and only local sheriff, probably showed up excited to watch the firing of said weapon.
Alternately, you should be aware that compensators were available back before World War 2. In fact, the Thompson submachine gun in one of its early production models had a built in compensator that was actually removed as a cost-cutting measure in the World War 2 production model.
2:20 for daylight firing with Cutts compensator....no visible muzzle flash.
Skip to 6:55....the SMLE has no virtually no visible daylight muzzle flash, whether that is due to the framerate not capturing the flash or else I cannot determine, however.
You can also see at 8:25 even the Thompson submachine gun has no visible daylight muzzle flash even with dense cloud cover.
35:41 for footage of MP40 being fired, no visible muzzle flash.
I've never seen a muzzle flash out of my 91/30 shooting it during the day.
Like someone above said, carbine length Mosins (M44 and M38) are nortorious for having a large muzzle flash - the shorter barrel (20" vs the 29" of the 91/30) doesn't let all of the powder burn inside of the barrel. They're quite loud compared to the 91/30 also
A lot of *ahem* internetz experts like to use youtube videos as their argument against large muzzleflashes. Under high light conditions, they are very hard to see, and the most distinct visual is a puff of smoke.
Tripwire is doing a pretty great job of portraying muzzleflashes in a way that is appropriate for all light conditions, imo.
