Gun turrets are defensive structures and are the first automatic defense to be unlocked. They use magazines for ammunition which can be refilled manually or by inserters. Unlike laser turrets, they do not require power and can operate practically anywhere as long as they have sufficient ammunition. On the downside, this means that ammo must be periodically replenished.

The gun turret has the same fire rate as the human-portable submachine gun. Physical projectile damage (research) upgrades both the base damage of the ammunition and the damage of the turret as two separate, multiplicative bonuses, quickly leading to a much higher damage output than the SMG.

Inserters can insert and remove magazines from gun turrets. This allows chaining multiple turrets together with inserters, each inserter taking ammo, as needed, from one turret and placing it into the next.

+'''Gun turrets''' are defensive structures and are the first automatic defense to be unlocked. They use magazines for ammunition which can be refilled manually or by [[inserters]]. Unlike [[laser turret]]s, they do not require power and can operate practically anywhere as long as they have sufficient ammunition. On the downside, this means that ammo must be periodically replenished.
-* Gun turrets are your first defense weapon.
+The gun turret has the same fire rate as the human-portable [[submachine gun]]. [[Physical projectile damage (research)]] upgrades both the base damage of the ammunition and the damage of the turret as two separate, multiplicative bonuses, quickly leading to a much higher damage output than the SMG.
-* They are cheap and ammunition can be refilled by [[Inserters]].
-* You can fill the bullets into them by hand. But you should automate that, use a chest, a belt and some inserters to do that job constantly.
-* They don't need any power to operate (only the inserters to fill them, but you can use burner inserter for that job), so they are not dependent to electricity.
-* With upgrades (gun + turret defence upgrades) and [[Piercing rounds magazine]] gun turrets are a much harder weapon, than laser turrets '''( [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4363&start=20 see thread])
-* Gun turrets are always sized 1x2 even when rotated which makes them somewhat problematic to use with rotated [[Blueprint]]s. It is no problem to mirrow the blueprint, but when rotated by 90° they may 'overwrite' an inserter or let one tile free between them. To workaround this use two blueprints, one for north-south and one for west-east usage.
+[[Inserters]] can insert and remove magazines from gun turrets. This allows chaining multiple turrets together with inserters, each inserter taking ammo, as needed, from one turret and placing it into the next.
