Good quality colour gun camera footage

I believe this is authentic footage but happy to be corrected. Might help with effects etc

Thank you very much.

One questions: what happens or causes the tracers to move so weirdly @ 3:52 - 3:56? Worn out/overheated barrel?

I assumed that the firing aircraft was skidding in a turn or oscillating around when it fired. It didn't seem to get much in the way of hits on the target. Convergence pattern too close or badly set? I don't know sorry.

16mm movie film. It’s recording around 24 frames per second and combined with vibration, can’t keep up with high speed objects in its near field of view.

Cameras - be it film or digital - don’t ‘see’ things like human eyes.

I've always wondered, too, thinking anything from the tracers themselves being less stable rounds, and skids and such cause them to tumble... to wondering if overheated barrels cause the issue.  I do recall seeing gun camera from a single plane where the longer and longer the guns were fired, the tracers went more and more errant.

 

I'm sure it's a simple answer for those with real-life (tm) experience.

Recently someone commented on guncamera footage saying the tracer material can detach from the projectile.
