I was just wondering if gun turrets can shoot over walls. I want to know before I attack the aliens. Thank you for responding.

That only happens when the player fires them. :)
But you're right: Unlike other ammo, shotgun shells DO hit a wall when the player tries to fire over it.

Btw, If you're going to use flamethrower turrets, keep in mind that the burning fuel CAN damage items that are in their line of fire.
Like power poles, rail signals, belts, etc. (Not rails btw)

There's nothing else that can shoot shotgun shells, though; The gun turrets can only use bullets.

And tank cannon shells, IIRC.
