Hell, I've done some basic digital muzzle flashes and found it to be incredibly time consuming.

And this was without adding fake shells or interactive lighting.

It can't be that expensive to do digital flashes. The Raid only cost an estimated $1.1 million. To put that in perspective, that's about how much as a Super Bowl commercial, not counting the cost of buying the ad time. Interactive lighting doesn't seem that hard. In The Raid they just used a flashing light.

To put things in perspective. Look at the following vids and how well done the muzzle flash and even CGI casings flying out look and these guys did it with little to no budget.

This one, they asked a bunch of Airsoft players to come out with their gear, so the props were provided.
