So I would not put too much faith into the tracer behaviour...

I agree something doesn't look quite right. Movement of the plane does look strange in that last passing shot. It is staged, and edited, and shot in the studio (cockpit shots) to some extent. But the main points of the film remain - it depicts target practice with painted targets, and the tracers look authentic, though I agree they may be 'blanks'.
