Love the screens.

Can't believe the spiraling tracers is still even under debate. It's a fact.

Lots of things contribute, wing vibration, airflow across the guns, uneven burning of the tracer round, G-force, barrel condition and barrel rifling all contribute to this effect. Most bullets used at the time were also tail heavy (so they tumble easier) which can exagerate the wobble.
