Well, in 40's aircraft gun barrels aren't rifled?

If so, the projectiles came out of the barrel spinning, maybe because that we see the smoke spirals, isn't?

If I can remember, the first time I saw this "spiral" effect moddled in a game was in FarCry, in the sniper rifle projectiles. Very nice touch!
