You need to take the basic science class not me. If the tracer left a trail of smoke that would be straight no matter what becuse it actually exists. Tracer streak can only exist when it's being viewed. It's not 'there' all the time. It's a dot, or is it a circle or is it 2 circles on top of each other?

You are all over the place. Trajectory is an objects path in a 3d space and we're not dealing in 3d.

Have you ever seen the wobbly pencil trick where you take a real pencil and move it up and down in such a way that it appears to bend? It must be real magic to you...
Holy fricken cow. I'm talking to a 5 year old. I was trying to give you a way to see the effect that you are soo sure happens without actually using a machine gun. So the only thing I can suggest now is to pay someone in the military to set up a range so you can sit there and watch an automatic weapon with tracer rounds fire down range. That way you could run back and forth, jump up and down, clap your hands together and maybe, just maybe as you are spinning 360's and jumping up and down while watching real life ammunition go down range with your own real life eye balls, then you could finally see for your self they move fricken straight.

And for the 100000000000000X, the ONLY reason the pencil "trick" fools your eyeballs is when you are FOCUSING on said pencil. You DO NOT FRICKEN FOCUS ON AN INDIVIDUAL TRACER ROUND WHILE FIRING A WEAPON.

What a complete and utter retard.
