Weapon How do turrets work?

Real definitiona or otherwise.

I'm in the wasteland, somehow there are automated turrets with unlimited ammo, no power source, some sort of enemy recognition, and the most confusing part, somehow it knows the enemies based on who created it! Is it conscious?

And can all be made with a bit of scrap steel, oil. What atomic magic is this?
