It's the lube, that smoke is the lube being flung from the bullet. Your bullet is probably spinning at around 80,000 rpm's, that's like 8 times faster than a dremmel tool on high speed. If you've ever tried to polish something with the felt wheels with polishing compound, you know how that dremmel will fling the polish from centrufical force. Now speed it up 8 times faster.
