[Idea] Capsule Turret

[Umbral Reaver]

I don't believe this has been suggested before, but I think it would be quite interesting:

A turret that can store a stack of capsules of any type, and throws them at enemies within range, at a much lower rate of fire than conventional turrets.

I was hoping for a throw a' turret capsule that woud create a turret with a ammo inside.

Is that a single turret that will throw whatever you fill it with, or a different type for each kind of throwable item?

From the linked post, a turret that takes a packaged (one might call it a magazine) form of capsule, and uses that as ammo
