Assault Rifle Muzzle Flash

I was adjusting some things with the particle editor in Torque and I'm not sure I really messed something up or not but I noticed that I cannot see the flash of the Assault rifle that came with the girl pack unless I'm looking up or down more than 45 degrees ... not sure how this could have happened as the muzzle flash doesn't seem to be related to the particles. I also deleted all the extra files created after I saved some of the particle effects ... hoping to get rid of any changes I made. Any insight would be appreciated.
