     hitParticles = GetComponentInChildren(ParticleEmitter);
     
     // We don't want to emit particles all the time, only when we hit something.
     if (hitParticles)
         hitParticles.emit = false;
     bulletsLeft = bulletsPerClip;
 }
 
 function LateUpdate() {
     if (muzzleFlash) {
         // We shot this frame, enable the muzzle flash
         if (m_LastFrameShot == Time.frameCount) {
             muzzleFlash.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(Random.value * 360, Vector3.forward);

If you post the code of making the $$anonymous$$uzzle Flash to appear, maybe people will be able to help?

I had the same problem when I followed the FPS-tutorial. What you need to do is: Select the "muzzle_flash" game object. In the material settings, change the shader to particles > additive. This should fix the problem. The muzzle flash will only be visible when you shoot :) Also, I would like to warn you that the tutorial is old and outdated. You might encounter more problems in the future, so good luck!
