No, as I said - I had a camera and took a photo of that exercise I described above and the image looked nothing like reality (with thousands of lines of light going against the road and then a fountain of lines going in all directions of the sky from the ricochets). In reality it was like a extremely thick swarm of glowing dots all over...

That was at night so the camera "error" was naturally extremely exaggerated by the extreme shutter time, but the error is still the same in daytime. A camera never take a picture of how the world really look

I'm impressed by all that can be discussed about tracers based upon just a few screenshots Screenshots are pictures from ingame camera right? So the tracers are correctly illustrated Lets just wait for the game to arrive, see what the tracers look like then, and discuss from that point Sorry, couldn't resist. Please don´t flame me.
