Guys. The Magnus effect arises then, if the spin axis is perpendicular onto the motion vector (wind vector). The firearms bullet spin axis is parallel. Not the same!

The paintball, airsoft bullet twirls around the cross axis, not around the longitudinal axis. There is a Magnus effect because of this. Anyway, compared to the velocity, the spin much faster (looking at his proportions) than at the firearms.
