Horribly exaggerated muzzle flash on some weapons

Issue Type (Required):

Other

Issue Description (Required):

Certain weapons exhibit horribly exaggerated muzzle flash when firing which makes hitting targets accurately significantly more difficult.

Generally, las-weapons’ critical attack muzzle flash is excessively obnoxious, but this is made significantly worse in the case of Kantrael Mk IIb Infantry Lasgun (excessive visual recoil + blinding muzzle flash).

I can get the idea of conveying a weapon’s lethality through its visual effects, but that should not come at the cost of “not being able to see what I’m shooting at”.

Kantrael Mk X Heavy Laspistol and Agripinaa Mk VII Combat Shotgun also have large & obstructive muzzle flashes when aiming down sights and firing.

Helbore Lasguns’ critical muzzle flash (all variants) can also be blinding which is made worse by their nonexistent iron sights.

I fundamentally do not agree with balancing ranged weapons’ performances by making sure the players using them cannot see what they’re shooting at.
