Taking a foot or two to reach full brightness? Maybe, and maybe not.

Take a look at the tracers after they reach full brightness. Their width is the same down the length of the trace.

Take a look:



If you still say this one bullet has just lit out there, then the "just lit" part is even brighter.

If it is argued that distance is the reason why the nearer end is brighter than the farther end, then this reasoning applies to all vidoes where each tracer segment has homogeneous brightness and width from beginnnig to end. In other words, when a vidoe show that the tracer segments have the same brightness and width down their length, that is because "distance" intervened, and actually they are not homogeneous.
