+====== ArmA 3 Muzzle Flash Animation ======
+Both are named zasleh for the selectionFireAnim in the turret's config and the model.cfg has zasleh defined as a section. Then one proxy is named muzzleflash1, and the other muzzleflash2 those two are defined as bones in class CfgSkeletons:
+<code cpp>
+class CfgSkeletons
+{
+	class Default
+	{
+		isDiscrete = 1;
+		skeletonInherit = "";
+		skeletonBones[] = {};
+	};
+	class myWeapon: Default
+	{
+		skeletonInherit="Default";
+		skeletonBones[]=
+		{
+			"muzzleFlash1","",
+			"muzzleFlash2",""
+		};
+	};
+};
+</code>
+Then both have an animation defined to rotate them at random:
+<code cpp>
+	class zaslehROT
+	{
+		type="rotationZ";
+		source="muzzleHMG_ROT";
+		sourceAddress="loop";
+		selection="muzzleFlash1";
+		axis="";
+		centerFirstVertex=1;
+		minValue=0;
+		maxValue=4;
+		angle0="rad 0";
+		angle1="rad 360";
+	};
+	class zaslehROT2: zaslehROT
+	{
+		selection="muzzleFlash2";
+	};
+</code>
+The vehicle has a custom muzzle source based on the reload animation source. I suppose you could do the same on a weapon with source = reload; using hidevalue and unhidevalue. It works on vehicles with hidevalue = 1; but I think the reload source on vehicles runs backwards compared to what it does on weapons.
