its no technique its only that tgc calls it only muzzleflash position when its actually is also the gun models position i found this out by accident when fooling around with the gunspec file that all weapons have in its folder.
gamecore/guns/(theme for weapons)/(weapon folders)
its great as you can modifie all weapons at your hearts content like this.
;HUD muzzleflash position
-----Gun position-----
horiz = -3
vert = 1.5
forward = -10
----muzzleflash position------
alignx = 1
aligny = -1
alignz = 32
