History Main / RemovableTurretGun

* Justified in the Warhammer 40,000 spin-off SpaceMarine. The Heavy Bolter is usually mounted on a vehicle or embedded in earthworks to be used by the Imperial Guardsmen, who are just ordinary human soldiers. The player character, however, is a genetically engineered super-soldier who is also wearing PowerArmour, and can choose to tear it loose and walk around (albeit slowly) while mowing down everything in his path.

* ''DeusExHumanRevolution'': if you managed to hack the turrets to shoot at enemies at a computer somewhere else, you can pick them up and move around and kill enemies with it. Also it stays until it gets destroyed.

* At the time of the game's release, any Sentry Gun the Engineers in ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' put down would be rooted to the ground. If you wanted to move it, you would instead have to demolish it and build a new one from scratch. Come the Engineer update, you can now pick up your sentry and move it in your toolbox instead. The only downside is that it still takes a few seconds to reassemble, you move slower whilst carrying it, and if you die before your put it down, the entire Sentry blows up.

* In ''FarCry: Instincts'' you can pick up stationary guns once you've acquired SuperStrength.

* ''FlashGordon'': Prince Berin kills a couple of {{mooks}} who are using a machine gun-like energy weapon on a tripod. He picks the gun off the tripod and kicks the tripod away, then continues on using the weapon like a minigun.

** It may be worth noting that the missle pods are only found as turrets once, in the level The Storm. Usually they are laying around.

* ''JustCause'' and its sequel has stationary [[GatlingGood Gatling guns]] Rico can detach and carry around. The gun still has BottomlessMagazines when carried, but Rico's speed is decreased and he can't jump or pick up ammo.

* This was done a number of times by US soldiers in the Pacific during WW2 by using M1919's taken from aircraft and modifying them for infantry use, so much so that it earned the unofficial designation of "The Stinger". Using the version from aircraft meant that rather than have a rather pedestrian rate of fire of around 500 rpm that the infantry version had, the gunner at his disposal the cripplingly high rate of fire of 1200 rpm. These weapons were generally personally modified from the original turret guns, most notably by MOH recipient [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Stein Tony Stein]]. For [[http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o265/WDW_Megaraptor/WW2%20pacific%20weapons/US%20Marine%20Corps/anm2stingerqi0.jpg his weapon]] he added the stock of an M1 Garand, the sights and bi-pod off of a BAR, a box welded to the side to hold ammunition, and a trigger from god knows where. Using this weapon he was the first man from his unit onto the beach of Iwo Jima, and when his unit became bogged down by MG and mortar fire he single handedly charged to enemy pillboxes, mowing down 20 enemy before he (inevitably with this weapon) ran out of ammo. He then ran back to the beach (barefooted and without a helmet for extra speed) to get more ammo. Eight times. carrying wounded men on his back

* ''LostPlanet'': you can detach VS weapons from the [=VSes=] themselves, but you can also attach and reattach them back.
