ok, let me recap, so you shot with a Kalashnikov, an M2, an M4 and a 30cal(30.06), right?
Most European countries don't allow automatic weapons for private use, but while in the Army I was trained to the use of:
1) the MG42/59, which is the Beretta version, chambering the 7.62 NATO round (comparable to a .308 Winchester), on both rates of fire (900rpm and 1500rpm)
2) the .50cal HMG M2, standard NATO issue
3) Beretta AR70/90, in 5.56mm NATO
4) Colt M4, also in 5.56 NATO
While travelling in the US and in exchange programs with other armies I also used similar weapons, but most notably:
1) M134 Minigun in 7.62mm NATO (shot from a helicopter stand in the sea)
2) HK21 in 7.62mm
3) M1919 in .30cal (or .30-06)
I have also seen heavier calibre guns being shot, but their range and ballistics quite differ from WW2 ones.
For whatever what I just wrote up is worth, I think that in terms of brightness the tracers of CoD are quite spot on, and although the brightness might look a bit too high (esp at a distance, but I have seen different colours/tracers behaving in different ways), I reckon they did quite a neat job with it.
As for the curvature, yes, there should be and as far as I could see there is, tracers burn for different times, and surely look like lasers (it's very thrilling to see them the first time!). Another thing to take into account is that the trajectory of tracers can differ from the other bullets because of its different weight, but this becomes more tangible at certain distances.
