Put simply, the Sentry Gun is a fixed gun with sensors that aims and shoots by itself — you don't need to be standing next to it for it to do its work. Think of it as an Attack Drone without the propulsion system. You'd often find sentry guns in near-to-distant future settings, where automated combat is commonplace. With regards to behavior, one key difference from the Attack Drone is that a Sentry Gun usually completely autonomous. In more realistic works, this generally implies a highly competent defense that you can just leave it on its own to do its work. In less realistic works, the odds are its friend-or-foe identification won't be reliable; thanks to ridiculously poor artificial intelligence, the sentry guns are likely to shoot friendlies (and each other) by accident as much as they are likely to shoot their enemies. In video games, they're typically weak or fragile to emphasize the need of human intervention in area security, but they do make base raiding all the more difficult for the attacking team. As such, they aren't usually capable of holding a Zerg Rush off by their lonesome, let alone a single powerful entity. It may have infinite ammo in order to give it some persistence in battle. Sentry guns that fire other ammo, such as lasers, energy balls, missiles, or weird things like fruit and so on also exist, especially in Shoot Em Ups. In Action games and especially platformers, despite not being designed to do so, Sentry guns are capable of doing damage through direct contact, making them somewhat annoying as they tend to pop up in the players way in time to collide with them. The Turret Master specializes in deploying these. Occasionally, they're removable. Almost inevitably, a Sentry Gun will resemble a fixed machine gun, though they can technically be of nearly any shape. Even so, they tend to take several distinct appearances. Here are the most common forms of them: Gun(s) mounted on legs: A gun which is put on metallic legs, usually a tripod or tetrapod. This type of Sentry Gun is commonly semi-portable and can be unmounted more easily than the rest of the subtypes. A surface-mounted gun: These are the guns that look like normal guns, but are firmly mounted on place and can be found on floors, ceilings and walls. Sometimes they can also hide inside the surface they are on. Hemisphere with barrel(s): This type of turret looks like a metallic hemisphere (sometimes more of a sphere is visible, sometimes less), usually with a groove where the gun barrel is located. These tend to shoot more futuristic stuff like Energy Balls, laser beams, and more. Core that fires stuff: This is a very simple form and can look as simple as a square with a center which fires projectiles. These normally fire slow projectiles or laser beams. All Tower Defense games are built around this trope — you place multiple guns of different types down to prevent the enemies from reaching you. Real life examples exist. While the military is reluctant to give trigger-pull authority to a computer, there are many forms of remote-operated gun platforms in development and in service today, controlled by a human operator at a distance. |

Divinity: Original Sin II has a magical variant: Summon Magic can conjure "elemental totems" out of various surfaces. Totems have their own place in the Action Initiative and automatically fire long-range attacks; though they're fragile and immobile, they have a minimal Cooldown to create and can be Status Buffed. | |

StarCraft: Protoss turrets are robotic. Terran missile turrets are manned, according to the sequel at least. The automated floor and wall turrets are present in installation levels, though. According to the novel Shadows of the Xel'Naga, Missile Turrets are/can be automated equipment. Zerg Sunken and Spore Colonies, being living entities, sort of qualify. StarCraft II: The bunker can be upgraded to have a machine gun nest on top, with threat-recognition programming derived from Zerg instincts. There is also a pop-up flamethrower turret. The Raven can deploy a stationary gun turret. |

In Neal Asher's The Owner trilogy, readerguns are gun emplacements placed on sentry posts or attack aircraft. They have a computer system that scans people's ID implants against a database of enemy listings, if there's a match - the readergun fires a 3 round burst of low-velocity bullets with inhuman precision to splatter the head of whoever's being targeted. Readerguns can also be programmed to target anyone who doesn't have the appropriate ID. | |

Bloons Tower Defense: The Engineer Monkey can deploy turrets within its attack radius, which can fire at bloons autonomously. Later upgrades lets the Engineer summon turrets that shoot different types of ammo, and the final tier upgrade makes them shoot rapid-fire plasma balls that self-destruct to deal even more damage when it wears off. The Paragon upgrade lets them summon turrets that summon turrets. | |

Dawn of War both lampshades and plays this straight. Most races/factions play this straight with the Listening Post structures and buildable defense turrets. Listening posts are structures used to defend requisition points and can be upgraded to automated guns of one sort or another, while the defense turrets are building/units that shoot at anything that gets close. The Orks, as ever, hang the lampshade: while their versions of the Listening Post and defense turret are guns manned by gretchen, so is every other building they get. | |

The Sentry Guns mentioned above on its film version also appear on the book version of Congo (and are actually a bit cooler, including silencers and the capacity of being aimed with rifle-sized laser designators). Unfortunately for the expedition, their impressive firing rate eats through their available ammunition stores at an equally impressive rate, turning them into something Too Awesome to Use for the camp's defense until the Killer Gorilla pack decides to get deadly serious. | |

James Bond In You Only Live Twice, Blofeld's Volcano Lair is guarded by "crater guns" which he brags can annihilate a small army, let alone Tiger Tanaka's elite ninja force. Fortunately Bond is able to open the vast sliding door covering the crater mouth, enabling the ninjas to get out of the line of fire and assault the Elaborate Underground Base inside. In Live and Let Die, Dr. Kananga has Scary Scarecrows guarding his hidden opium field to frighten away the voodoo-believing locals, but the heads are shown to contain surveillance camera 'eyes' and a silenced gun in the mouth. |

In Twilight Watch, Anton is attacked by a Chinese-made mounted sentry gun. Since the sentry gun has no soul or is not attacking with ill intent, Anton is unable to detect or counter the gun with magical means, almost resulting in his death. This novel, more than any other, shows that human technology has reached to a point where it's a serious threat to the Others, especially if it's magically-enhanced. The book's Big Bad's plan of dealing with the most powerful Other since the Middle Ages is not some complicated spell or magical artifact. A suitcase nuke will do. |

Bounty of One: The SteamTech Turret is R0B3RT's legendary item, which places a stationary turret that automatically fires at enemies. It fires the same shots as the player, including Spread Shots as well as special ammunition. Most importantly, it breaks the game's Do Not Run with a Gun rule as it still fires even if the player is moving. | |

Overwatch: At launch, Torbjörn could build a level 1 sentry turret to reinforce his team's defenses, then further upgrade it to level 2 by whacking it a few times, making it fire much faster, and finally put it temporarily to level 3 during his ultimate, making it shoot missiles. A later update made him able to deploy his turret directly at level 2 but removed it's level 1 and 3. Symmetra can also create miniature turrets out of Hard Light that fire lasers. Illari can deploy a benevolent version that heals allies at proximity, prioritizing the ally with the lowest healt percentage. |

Command & Conquer: Games from Tiberian Sun and beyond feature sentry guns. A rule of thumb is that sentry guns do not release soldiersnote some defense structures have a crew when the gun is sold or destroyed. To further qualify the building as a sentry gun, it must be a small, low-tier defense structure with a turret. The Soviet Union (Red Alert 2 era) actually has a low-tier defense structure named the Sentry Gun (appropriately enough). | |

Pikmin 2: Gatling groinks are biomechanics enemies with mortar guns built into their bodies. Most wander around their home areas in search of Pikmin to shoot at, but some are spawned on top of tall platforms and do not move from them, instead simply rotating in their spots and firing their mortars at the player. They are coded differently from the regular roaming variant, as shown by the fact that, if they're somehow knocked from their perches and to the ground, they still remain immobile. | |

Planet Explorers seems to be made with these in mind; a solid wall of turrets can dish out more damage than the strongest custom-built laser rifle, and there are eight makes of turret to choose from. The player gains access to small, portable sentry guns early on in the campaign to give them a chance against Maria's rambunctious wildlife. Later on, they can design custom missile, laser and Gatling gun turrets to guard their colony or grind the fiercest animals. | |

In You Only Live Twice, Blofeld's Volcano Lair is guarded by "crater guns" which he brags can annihilate a small army, let alone Tiger Tanaka's elite ninja force. Fortunately Bond is able to open the vast sliding door covering the crater mouth, enabling the ninjas to get out of the line of fire and assault the Elaborate Underground Base inside. | |

Shadowrun had several of these. The Neo-Anarchists' Guide to Real Life supplement had gun ports, which were weapons mounted in walls that hosed down with a room when activated. Ares Arms Sentry weapons had a modular design which allowed the addition of optional sensor packages and various weapons (e.g. machine guns and miniguns). Seattle Sourcebook (1990). The Renraku Arcology is protected by computer controlled sentry guns that can destroy incoming missiles. |

Team Fortress 2 has them as the primary kill-earner of the Engineer. It starts out as a single gun, upgrades to double chainguns, and then a further upgrade gives it rockets. Each upgrade also increases the gun's health. Subverted with the Wrangler, which allows you to aim manually, with a bonus of increased fire rate and a damage reducing shield (though even that has aim assist). In standard Team Fortress 2 logic, hit it with your wrench and your metal will repair and rearm it. It can also be replaced with the Mini-sentry by using the Gunslinger instead of the wrench, which is weaker and can't be upgraded, but cheaper and faster building, making it a good choice for offense. They are one of the most powerful weapons in the game when it comes to pure damage output, but suffer from certain weaknesses to balance it out. Obviously, they can't move (unless you pick them up, but they can't fire while packed), making them easy targets once a player is aware of them. They can't see through a spy's disguises, allowing him to easily sap and destroy unguarded sentry guns. And they have a limited range, so enemies can attack with impunity if they can stay out of range (averting this is a main advantage of the Wrangler). | |

Risk of Rain 2: Two different variants appear: first, broken turrets scattered around stages which can be repaired for a cash fee and which are largely inferior to the many Attack Drone variants that are also available by this method due to their inability to move. Secondly, and much more prominently, the Engineer comes with the ability to build a pair of turret guns as his main means of dealing damage. Uniquely, these turrets will *inherit copies of nearly every item the Engineer collects*, making them potentially powerful on a level that very few video game turrets manage. | |

Turrets show up in XCOM 2 after you've been conducting your campaign for a while, starting with the Heavy Turret and eventually getting upgraded to the Superheavy Turret. They have a lot of range, but little actual detection ability, meaning it's possible to snipe them from outside their engagement range, but they compensate for their immobility and vulnerability by having extremely high amounts of armor and the ability to shoot twice per turn. They can be hacked by Specialists to turn to your side temporarily, and don't need to be destroyed to complete a mission. Researching the wreckage reveals that they are completely autonomous, and horrifyingly, they don't seem to have any kind of target discrimination beyond "don't shoot ADVENT or alien forces", meaning that once they're turned on, they could easily gun down random civilians (though they don't do so in-game). | |

Receiver: All enemies are either flying drones or turrets on legs. Unlike most depictions, the turrets have a surprisingly small amount of ammo. But they're so accurate and fast to react that trying to trick them into wasting their ammo is a risky proposition when the amount of bullets that kills you is smaller than the number of fingers on one hand. On the other hand, they have several vulnerable points (their connecting point to the tripod, the barrel, and the sensor) that render the gun worthless with a single well-aimed shot. | |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse — Earthblood: Starting in the midgame, Endron installs automated turrets around its sites that will automatically spray Cahal with bullets if an alarm is raised unless he first deactivates through computer terminals. | |

Babylon 5 has EarthForce Interceptors. Once you activate them, enemy fighters will be swatted out of the sky, and enemy fire will be shot down (unless you have the Minbari advanced weapons). They can still be overwhelmed by enough volume of fire to overheat them, though. | |

City of Heroes had one in its Traps powerset, the Acid Mortar. Unusually, it was more of a debuffing tool than a direct attack. It did extremely low damage (around 10 base damage at maximum level, when even the weakest enemies had over 400 health), but reduced the target's damage resistance and ability to dodge by over 25%. Small wall-mounted sentry turrets are also enemies in some tech-based maps, and larger turrets protect the perimeter of Grandville, the villains' main city. | |

The Last Starfighter. The laser cannons protecting the Starfighter base from the Kodan meteor gun attack. They work pretty well, at least until a spy disables them... | |

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident has space mines that are more this trope than Space Mines. For example, the mines surrounding the Shukenja Beta base can either fire missiles and railguns or lasers (both anti-ship and anti-fighter), depending on their position. They go down from a few shots, though. | |
