Sentry gun (Red Alert 3)

The Sentry Gun was the Soviet Union's basic base defense structure during the Third World War.
==Overview==
It is basically three heavy machine guns on a 360-degree turning mount, surrounded by brick and mortar and manned by a single Conscript. The machine guns appear to fire armor-piercing bullets, as it is very deadly against both infantry and light vehicles, and can even be a threat to tanks in large numbers.
These structures offer a somewhat cost effective resistance against lone commando assaults (Natasha's laser sight has less range than its machine guns), but are out-ranged by artillery units and defenseless against aircraft.
==Trivia==
*Although visually exposed, the conscript is merely attached to the building's model, and will only perish with its destruction, or just despawn, even on land.
*The conscript manning the sentry gun will drink from a bottle (which uses the same model as the Molotov cocktail) when idle. When selected, he will quickly drop the bottle, only to pick it up again once unselected.
*The fact that it requires power to function suggests the machine guns may be driven by electricity.
