Turret teamkills?

Turrets occasionally do friendly fire. Is this the intent?

from my experience its just luck of the draw and that perfect positioning, tho lag doesn't help that much.

turrets shoot at any aliens in their FOS, if that alien is lagging and you come and stand in front of the turret while it is running past the turret, b/c of the lag, you will get shot at by the turret.


ex:
_________ :human:
  :turret:__________________________________ :dretch:
turns into

 :turret: ___ :human: :dretch:

then


 :turret: ____Dead human

It's not lag. On a devmap, do g_knockback 0, and get god mode for a dretch and a human. Then, move the human next to the turret, and adjust a dretch so that the bullets just scrub the edge of the human. You will then see some blood.

Turrets do have some spread defined in the source, but friendly fire happens so rarely, that it is to think that turrets should not miss by design. Maybe spread is just for just increased graphics realism only. So what do you devs think about classifying this case as a bug (I do have a fix)?

And if it's any kind of bug that either just annoys anyone, or does crashes, just because it happens on rare occasions, doesn't mean that it should be left in on purpose, especially when there is a fix for it. The only reason one may encourage not fixing a specific bug, is that fixing it would require an exessive amount of time and work, which is not worth the effort. If someone is willing to donate that much effort anyway, one should not try to stop him...

It would be nice if there was a different death message for turret team-kills, just to point out the fact.
"<Playername> stood in front of a turret"
Mind you, increasing the spread slightly would help discourage people from camping in front of the turrets.
