Gun turrets are actually a better use of incendiary cores than sniper turrets. Spend 5 i-cores on a gun turret to get from lvl 9 to lvl 14, and you get the same range as a sniper with 50% faster rate of fire, (30 compared to a sniper's 20). Compared to a lvl 5 sniper turret, which costs the same in i-cores, the gun turret has 8000 health vs the sniper's 1400, and 1400 damage compared to the 1100 damage of the sniper. At lvl 14, a single sniper has roughly twice the stat values (3000 damage and 14000 health) of a lvl 14 gun turret, but for only 1 more core, you can have 3 lvl 14 gun turrets, which have a combined health of 24000 and an attack of 4200. NOt only this, but you can add engineering lab parts to gun turrets without needing to upgrade the e-lab past lvl 9.
