The Terran, Vasudan, and Shivan races all have their own sentry guns, with the GTSG Mjolnir class being specifically designed to take down enemy warships with a large beam weapon. In the space-based PC game Freelancer jump gates, trade lane rings and space stations are equipped with low-power sentry guns, however, they are called turrets and thus may be human-operated.ĭescent Freespace and Freespace 2 are also noted for having sentry guns. The relative security (although inefficient against a coordinated attack) enjoyed by players in the so-called "Low security space" zones, as opposed to "0.0 space" where PvP can freely occur, is largely due to the presence of these sentry guns. In the space-based MMORPG Eve Online, the areas surrounding stations and jump gates are lightly defended by sentry guns similar to CIWS systems. The game Perfect Dark features enemy sentry guns that must be destroyed in order to advance in the game, in addition to a player-usable version disguised as a laptop computer. All sentry devices in the game are able to be hacked or bribed by the player to serve himself. The game BioShock features sentry guns in machine gun, rocket launcher, and flamethrower varieties as well as security bots summoned by security cameras which are essentially sentry guns with rotors allowing them to fly like small helicopters. Portal, also made by the creators of the Half-Life game series prominently features sentry guns that deliver humorous dialogue in high-pitched electronic voices. In both Half-Life and Half-Life 2, many levels involve destruction or even control of sentry guns.

The spy class has a tool (the Electro-Sapper) specifically designed to neutralize sentry guns and other buildings. The latest incarnation of the TF sentry gun starts as a high-caliber cannon, upgradeable with machine guns and rocket launchers.

Michael Crichton's version, in the 1969 novel The Andromeda Strain, fired tranquillizer darts at intruders in the underground facility. How did the YouTuber manage to construct a gun turret from essentially nothing? Where did he find all the scrap metal needed for the project? And what programming skills did he have to acquire for the turret to work properly? This video answers all these questions and more.A sentry gun is used to pin down a group of rebelling colonists in Robert A. If you choose to replicate this project, there isn't all that much to it if you approach it methodically, and I think it's actually more simple than many might realize!" writes Randomn in his video description. but frankly, the answer this time is "just because I wanted to!" So this is how I built my homemade autonomous AND manually controlled airsoft sentry turret! This project was a great introductory project to the world of RaspberryPi for me personally. "Ordinarily, I would explain why I built a project first. Why might you ask? Well, simply because he can. In this video, YouTuber Randomn builds just such a turret using scrap metal, an airsoft gun, a 3D printer, a solar charger, and a Raspberry Pi computer. It affords the user a certain level of protection and visibility as well as the ability to turn and aim. A gun turret is a mounting platform from which all kinds of weapons can be fired.
