Xilon:

If I am understanding your post correctly, that little "wiggle" you see in the tracers is due to "camera shake", not any movement in the bullet itself.

Bullets CAN wobble but you would probably not see this at fairly close range on a tracer. It would only be noticeable at all at very long ranges and at those ranges, your eye would probably have a hard time picking it up.

So the "wiggle" is all in the camera, not in the bullet itself. As the plane shakes from subsequent rounds being fired, the tracers downrange appear to "jump around" when they are in fact following a rather stable parabola.

I hope that made sense. And if I misread your post please forgive me.
