Ok then, explain the blasters in SW KOTOR 1&2 4,000 years before the movies 
Being like .50 cals would be nothing like any of the movies. Hand blaster rifles stormtroopers use are more like the power of a submachine gun of a similar size.
How exactly are tracer effects done in the engine anyway? That would ultimately determine how changable they are. If they're based off of some kind of image file, all that would be needed is a little photoshop work. If they're pure particle effects, they'd require coding and plenty of experimenting to change.
Would it be conceivable to find the firing of any WW2 aircraft cannons on modern video?
Perhaps like muzzle flashes we could have day/night tracers? Day would be like they are now wher you see the streak with smoke behind it. At night they would be longer brighter streaks.
