Get down before the concussion wave hits!

This effect was fairly easy in Photoshop.
There are really only two shapes, each in its own layer above the base image
-the energy blob coming out of the muzzle and the ring (particles trapped in a
magnetic focusing field).
The ring layer (a rotated circle shape) uses an "Outer Glow" effect with a
parabolic curve profile.
The blob layer (painted with a white brush) uses an "Outer Glow" effect too but
the most interesting part is the "Drop Shadow".
All the muzzle flash lighting is from the drop shadow of the blob cast back on
the gun. Instead of having it be a black shadow, it's white in "Color Dodge"
mode. This creates a super bright illumination cast on the gun. You have to
experiment with the shadow angle and curve profile to place the brightest spots
realistically.
The rest of the image has a "Diffuse Glow" filter and a "Radial Blur" outward
from the gun muzzle to simulate a concussion wave and general violence.
