If what you are saying would be true, it would not be possible to create a bent line or circle visible to the eyes with for instance a sparkler. And there is certainly no need to be under extreme forces just to see something like that with your eyes.

Great!
Edit: And if you'd actually take the time to read what I wrote (which seems hard to do for some people) you'd realize that a sparkler has nothing to do with the discussion. Neither does staring at a tracer round while firing a weapon. The game has the tracers modeled to what you do in real life when firing a weapon. And that would be focus on the target you are shooting at. If you focus on a sparkler (which your eyes can actually do) you can cause all the retina burn you want. That image might stick around in your head for over a minute. But the thing you don't seem to realize is that a tracer will be gone from your POV in an instant. That's why the Helo video keeps getting brought up. It's going over 100mph in some spots while the gunner is firing almost perpendicular to in some instances to the direction of travel, yet the "curved" effect is hardly noticeable on a video. Well let me tell you something, an airplane just so happens to be traveling 99% of the time in the SAME direction that the guns are pointing. Guess what? That bend or arc that's hardly noticeable in a good video camera is much less pronounced when seeing this with your own naked eye. If you had experience on the subject at hand, just like winny, you wouldn't be trying to bring up a candle or a sparkler that you wave around with your hands and focus on it, and compare it to a high speed moving bullet. Kinda laughable.
