I've noticed when watching some films that some players are able to do instant and perfect 180 degree spins. For example, I come up from behind and start shooting and they instantly spin and are aiming right at me. Is there some kind of a mouse macro that they could be using for this? Is it just a result of the theater rendering the video incorrectly (I doubt this)?
I can't even move that fast without worrying about accuracy. Maybe if I turned the mouse sensitivity to max, but then I can't imagine aiming under normal conditions.
On a similar note, I also often see players whose aim seems almost mechanical. Not that I think that they're using an aimbot (they sometimes miss), but when faced with several enemies they aim at one perfectly, shoot a few times then the aim immediately "jolts" to the next enemy. Is this just a lot of practice or are there tricks to being able to do this?

Beyond setting your mouse sensitivity high, disabling the "enhance mouse precision" option on the Windows control panel (you may need to go into the Windows panel, even if your mouse has it's own) can help greatly for shooters. What it does is essentially reduce the pointer sensitivity the slower you move the mouse, or conversely speed it up the faster the mouse moves. With that done away with, when you move the mouse an inch in whatever direction at whatever speed, you will always turn the same amount.
The downside of this is that unless you have a mouse with high DPI, you may not be able to have both the sensitivity as high as you like and have your cursor move smoothly (it may skip pixels)
