A gun turret has 400 health and an 18-tile range and fires bullets every 6 ticks (10 shots a second) from magazines of 10 rounds. A round does 5 physical damage from a firearm magazine, 8 from piercing rounds and 24 from uranium rounds, so a turret on firearm magazines deals 50 damage a second before research bonuses and the target's resistances.	`cooldownrange`	Publisher
A laser turret has 1000 health and a 24-tile range and needs no ammunition: each shot, every 40 ticks (1.5 a second), costs 800 kJ from its 801 kJ buffer, so it draws 1.2 MW while firing and 24 kW idle. Each hit of its beam does 10 laser damage, doubled by the turret's damage modifier, and one beam can hit more than once: it lasts 40 ticks with a damage interval of 20.	`cooldown`	Publisher
