Even the puny MP5 and not to mention my G3A3 had muzzleflash so long as there was no direct sunlight near me... I distinctly remember one training exercise where my platoon were doing some basic fire-drills in the woods, and when we were in the shade, we saw both our own and eachothers muzzleflashes eventhough we were firing single shots and had flash-hiders on our G3's
