Hi, wyrmius creater here.

There is actually no random firing of projectiles, they either fire in a patter or at you. One nuance with the warframe engine is that enemies trying to shoot at you will compensate for your movement, and since the movement speed of the wyrm is so high you can have enemies fire in seemingly random directions. This can actually be abused to get them to fire at the cieling and floor by moving up and down very quickly.

As for projectiles coming from off the screen it's mainly because the enemies fire as soon as they're spawned which happens to be out of your vision. Also something that could be problematic is that if they don't fire until they're on the screen then most of their patterns won't ever hit you because you can just chill really far up. The only guys that shoot backwards in the entire game are the ones that target you. There's also the issue of enemies not moving with the camera and so eventually you can just bypass them without killing them.
