Look here at around 9 minutes. I wonder if that Mk200 is using a flash suppressor:

Keep in mind different calibers and barrel lengths affect the muzzle flash. The shorter the barrel the bigger the flash; with caliber usually the larger it is the more powder is needed to move the round, more powder more flash.
Also military ammunition is generally made to have as little of a muzzle flash as possible, while civilian ammunition usually has a larger flash, to put on a better show or something along those lines.
AKA SSG Sullivan [13th SFG]
The muzzle flashes showcased at E3 were perfect, and you can't get better than perfect. If the muzzle flashes get changed I'm going to hurt someone.
Not so much to put on a better show as it is just various options of ammunition to choose from. Military surplus ammunition is not exactly the highest tier of ammunition you could get, and in the armed forces it is fairly regulated, where as in the civilian market you have several options with varying counts of grain for what ever accuracy/power needs that the shooter wishes to fulfill, from some really powerful loads to even subsonic loads. Many options of which are more hotter loads than the military standards, which might require adjustments to gas systems at times and sometimes stronger tolerances built into the firearm itself (fortunately the civilian market in firearms as a ton of options for many weapons). Some people also do handloads to save money, though if they don't know what they are doing the results can be dangerous. There's also different levels of quality in powders and in manufacturing in different brands of ammunition.

I didn't think about it earlier but perhaps not all weapons will have the same level of customization? The MK200 may just come with a flash suppressor and that's it as far as muzzle devices go, that or it might have been the default one perhaps?

Spoiler:
Keep in mind they where firing a heavy caliber rifle. I'd say that muzzle flashes differ when using smaller ammunition like 9mm.
