Sniper tower

[Hammer143]

Has anyone ever come up with a theory about who (or what), operates the weapon for the sniper tower trap?

Considering that it didn't operate without power activation, it was more than likely automated to fire at any sort of movement. Nothing fancy tech-wise, and it could also be upgraded when zapped with electricity.

It's obvious it's the bus driver.

 

Just kidding, I agree with the 2nd post. It's an automated turret that reacts to movement. It doesn't shoot at you because it's a game breaking mechanic, simple as that, even though I think you can get hurt from it shooting rockets but I might be mistaken on that.

 

The only real question I have is, how does that technology exist at a period when infrared wasn't around...

I think we can chalk it down to Satan, or whatever you call the purgatory they're in.

We can be shot by the turrets in Kino Der Toten and Ascension. It will be more difficult to try in Mob Of The Dead.

I believe that since Element 115 contributes to the displacement of time and space, we get equipment, technology, and weapons from a variety of time periods.
