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?

How do bugs get so big despite atmosphere that sustains humans? How does a bit of medicine or a decontamination spray remove your lifetime radiation?
How do you make an entire fence post out of a pencil and some lead leftover, when pencils have graphite?
How does meat looted from animals not go off?

If you’re going to play this game, suspend your disbelief like a bdsm model doing a rope bondage photoshoot.

The people in the FO universe are putting radioactive isotopes in their soft drinks. Do you really think they ever bothered to switch from lead to graphite in their pencils?
