Anyone wondered why turrets have a muzzle flash? Because they fire the whole bullet you know. Source:  

If the bullets are fired whole, therefore not combusting any gunpowder, wouldn't that mean that they shouldn't have any muzzle flash?

65% more bullet - per bullet!

I could see good ol' Cave not knowing that they do not in fact 'fire the entire bullet'. It sounded like the guy was fed some lines by the 'lab boys' and he went along with it, but didn't know all of the science behind it all. That and the pre recorded message could have been for an earlier model of the turret that may in fact have 'fired the whole bullet' but after further testing, the newer turret once again fires like a normal turret might. The way I see it, all of the videos with him voicing them were of new products but with old voice overs from the 70's.

They add an extra shell casing and powder to fire a full bullet. hehe.

Well, maybe they thought since the bullets aren't exploding they'd add in some flashing lights or something to simulate muzzle flash. You know, for the kiddies. That seems like an Aperture thing to do.

About turrets, did any of you guys realize that the blood disappeared when you get shot?
