Overview
This automated electric sentry turret will engage and neutralize any moving targets it has line of sight to. You must equip it with a projectile weapon and the corresponding ammunition. Note : The turret will search for targets in a 180 degree arc facing *you* when you place it. Requires 10 power.
Put one where raiders and door campers have to stand, and it fights for you while you sleep. The turret shoots anything that moves in its view and is not on its authorization list, so the loot room, the airlock and the roof stay guarded when nobody from your group is online.
The bench is only Level 2; the parts are the real gate. Each turret eats a targeting computer and a CCTV camera, and early in a wipe both mostly come out of crates. Inside goes any gun with its ammo: a cheap Handmade SMG with a stack of pistol bullets is a common first loadout, a rifle once you can spare one. Then it needs 10 power, by its own text. A small generator covers that easily, and a charged battery keeps it awake when the fuel runs out.
Watch out
It searches a 180-degree arc facing you when you place it, so stand on the side the threat will come from. And it keeps its own list, like the Tool Cupboard: authorize every teammate on the turret itself, or it will shoot them at the door.
Raiders know all this. They bait out the ammo, shoot it from outside its view or cut the power, so tuck it behind cover and run the wire inside your walls.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
