Frankly, these lasers...

That's the point - it's a matter of projectile speed and observer angle.
If you watch the tracer from a 90° angle and 10ft distance you'll get lasers.
Decrease angle or increase distance and you'll get dot's again.

This laser effect is made by your brain.

Someone told me a dragonfly can process up to 300fps - if that's true they would never experience the laser effect.

Absolutely spot on and that's why i think the in-game tracers are realistic..it not only models exactly what you describe, but also the transition from one effect to the other :




Also, interesting bit of trivia on the dragonfly, damn insects in general have insane vision.

I you think about it; that would put you in the position to see an incoming bullet virtually in slowmo - yet you can't dodge it.
