the problem with having the LEDs always on is overheating. if you want to keep the heat buildup down, the LEDs need to run on lower voltage and therefore lower brightness. with them connected directly to the motor wires, they only light up then the trigger is pulled, and will only heat up if you do a 200 round mag dump. so having them connected this way i can run them closer to their max voltage input and brightness output with less risk of burning them out.
for me this works best.
as for the glowing lagging on semi, thats just how it is. unless you use a transparent barrel and light them up that way. personally, i don't really mind the lag. i think it's a useful advantage when you want to take a more stealthy shot, especially if your gun is as quiet as mine is with a silencer, and your target is within 20 feet. nothing like taking pot shots at someone who is close enough to make out their face, and watch the look on their face as they are trying to figure out where the fire is coming from. if im going to open up on someone's location then yea, i want my tracers highly visible to my team mates.
