* Gun turrets are always sized 1x2 even when rotated which makes them somewhat problematic to use with rotated [[Blueprint]]s.

The workaround to this is to use two blueprints, one for north-south and one for west-east usage.
* The gun turret damage upgrade stacks multiplicatively with the bullet damage upgrade. Fully upgraded this means 2.2*2.2=4.84 times as much damage; 9.68 damage with regular bullets or 24.2 damage with armor-piercing bullets, an armor piercing bullet kills small enemies in one shot, and deals more damage to a heavy biter than a laser shot does.

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. Inserters will only insert up to 10 magazines per turret.

On Gleba, wrigglers are quite vulnerable to gun turrets, as they act like biters without the resistances. However, strafers can outrange the turrets, and are quite durable as they have small resistance to physical damage. Stompers negate more than half of received damage. Combined with their high health pool, gun turrets are not the best choice against them.

On Vulcanus, the demolisher can have its segments damaged by the turrets, allowing large turret blocks to be effective against the small and even medium variants.
