I've always done muzzle flashes with models... Though they're quite like sprites, recently I've used a cup shape, which can be used in first person and third person.
Have you tried to record videos? It's free and can record as long videos as you want. Not limited to 30 seconds. It may be a bit harder to use though.. at least it took me one hour to find out I can't use open gl hardware acceleration to capture videos with it and another hour to set up what I want to capture exactly...
zbang!
