Alright, the shooting yourself, that was just random. Needed blood effects and whatnot. Then, the one of you firing the AK47, well... First off, the kickback: I barely saw any. AK47's have insane kickback, so to have none is completely unrealistic. Now, for the muzzle flash. That would be much much bigger than it was. It would also slightly change shape, not continuously be an exact duplication. Just my tips. I know this was probably a test... and a random one at that, but it could still be improved upon.
Noted the points about the kickback.
It was a test but when I do it for real I'll alter the shape of the muzzle flash. Maybe 4-5 different shapes randomly used? I used one frame of flash every other frame of footage.
Number of rounds per magazine wasn't something I bothered with as you may have noticed![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Oh and when I actually film the real footage I'll make sure there are no cats around.

The only problem I noticed with the AK video is that the muzzle flash is always in the same exact spot, no matter where the barrel is. I know this was just a test to make sure all this stuff works, but, It was reakky noticeable to me. Aside from that, it was pretty awesome. Good work!:)

Fair point. Because I used a muzzle flash every 2 frames for 10 seconds there were lots of them! Not sure if there would be an easy way to keep them inline with the barrel other than position each one by hand.
If I used this sort of effect for real it would only be seen for a few seconds so I suppose there would only be 25-40 frames to position. Which isn't too bad if you want it to look good.
I would also aim to use a number of slightly different shaped flashes rather than just use the same one repeatedly.
I used Premiere's motion settings to position and size the muzzle flash which was just a static jpeg image.
