Sentry Gun

The Sentry Gun acts as a turret, firing at enemy worms that are detected through movement.

Description
Sentry Gun is an autonomous weapon. It is a six-barreled Gatling gun with ammo fed to it from a box on the contraption. During gameplay, the Sentry Gun's colour depends on the team's side. After it has been placed it will fire a big round of bullets at any enemy worms that get in range, but it can fire only once in the whole turn, this can be used as an advantage to fool the gun to fire at the landscape to waste it's ammo so you can safely destroy it. The Sentry gun has a damage up to 25 per salvo and its health is usually 50s,100s or 200s. The Sentry gun smokes and later explodes in the force of a dynamite and damages up to 40s. Because of its ability to fire by itself, usually only one sentry can be placed until destroyed. It cannot normally be added to custom schemes in Worms 4: Mayhem, but any custom scheme based on the Darksider or the Kitchen Sink schemes will include it as well. It also appears to be able to "move" when selected for placement twitching its four metal "legs", which may say that the gun has limited AI.

The Sentry Gun had its graphic update in Worms 2: Armageddon. Its sensory radius is fairly limited and their detection is based on movement. Placing one in front of an enemy worm will not guarantee damage. The gun will only fire if the worm voluntarily moves, or is knocked from his current position by other weapons, falling, explosive force, etc. They are useful for worms who have already used Blowtorches, Pneumatic Drills, Jetpacks and so on to escape when weak.

"Sentry Gun - Once deployed on the landscape, the Sentry Gun will guard its immediate surroundings and will open fire on any enemy worms within range. The Sentry Gun can only see worms that are moving; once it detects a worm, it emits a short burst of machine gun fire.
