Muzzle Flash

Hi,
I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for creating a simple muzzle flash on the barrel of a weapon? I did see one other thread regarding this, but I found it difficult to follow and it required some modeling which I haven't gotten into yet.
What I'd be happy with is simply 'mounting' a particle emitter on the barrel of the weapon model (the M16 from the modern soldier pack), let it shoot a flame, and die off until the player presses fire again. Is this doable using particles alone?
Thanks!

It is doable by mounting particles alone, but it's not very pretty. For the best weapon muzzle flares, use animations when modelling. It surpasses all others.
