...would they turn into a Defective version, or would they shut down realizing they can't kill without seeing their target as a living being, since their empathy generator would have full control? Or could there be a way to work around it?
So, I got to thinking: Say Mr. Johnson wanted to see what would happen if a turret's emotional inhibitor were removed. Because why not, right? But what do you think would happen if this now emotionized turret were told to shoot a test subject or intruder? Would they shut down, realizing that now they can't kill whatsoever (like the 2010 Cybermen), or do you think they could be reprogrammed a little to shoot as long as they believed they weren't shooting a living being? I do believe that turrets can have personalities, but I'm not sure how the inhibitor would affect this.
If the average turret doesn't see a threat it's in a standby state and is motionless.
However there are Defective Turrets in Portal 2. Basically turrets who are harmless because there was something wrong with them and they were not given ammo. So if one were to mess with a turret it may act more like the defective turrets on encounters.
Example of their voices and dialogue.

My money would be on a defective verson,but more like the defective Oracle Turret than the normal defective ones.
