for a muzzle flash object animation -

you can try positioning a muzzle flash out of camera view before its needed then in a 1 frame move, position it at the muzzle... alternate the transperancy / morph (if any) for about 3 frames or so, (light transperancy frame 1, no transperancy frame2, light transperancy frame 3 - then in frame four, do a 1frame move back off screen.
