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.
