Here's a quick video of a cool flame throwing Krink:



So is not that simple. Things have to be checked for individual type of gun and ammo.
In this case, barrel length. Short barreled rifles and handguns, how much powder and what type...etc, etc. There are many factors involved for visible muzzle flash.
