The Terran Turret is a so-called blob turret (due to its appearance in non-SCP, unmodded FreeSpace 1 and 2. The Terran Turret has a faster refire rate, does slightly more damage-per-second, and is faster (therefore more accurate) than its bigger brother, the Terran Huge Turret. Both Terran Turrets do little damage-per-second, slightly more than the Prometheus R, as such they are mostly good at destroying bombs as really slow moving, wounded bombers and fighters. The Shivan equivalent to this gun is the Shivan Turret Laser. These actually appear to take out more bombs than Flak, but perhaps it's me.
I guess the only reason why this and its close brothers are still in the GTVA fleet are because there are alot of them in stock, and require little energy to operate and so therefore can be placed in great numbers throughout the hull. However, their contribution to battles are often minimal. Very minimal.
Bomb-remover extraordinaire. Let the beams and flaks take on the bombers, these are for what they dump on you.
The blobs in general are the new point-defense weapons, knocking down incoming ordinance with an efficeny a flak gun can only dream of. Beams are excellent point-defense, but do not fire nearly as often.
If you ever play a no-shields FS1 mission against a freighter or cruiser, Terran Turrets are to be feared. These things do catastrophic damage to bare hulls, especially compared to the pea-shooter ML-16. But in FS2, you can practically bathe in blobs.
