Trivia
- Although Cave Johnson's statement that Turrets "fire the whole bullet" may seem nonsensical, the video demonstrates that they do indeed fire the entire bullet. Instead of striking the primer on the back of the bullet in order to ignite the propellent inside and unleash the bullet similarly to traditional firearms, Turrets fire bullets via a pair of spring-loaded hammers that propel the entire cartridge out of the barrel. This also explains why Turrets don't eject any spent cartridges when firing.
