Robotic Turret Shell Ammo goes where?

[[Bm8] Stueck0514]

I have a robotic turret that I have crafted robotic turret shell ammo for, but it does not seem to want to take anything other than the standard ammo. What takes all this turret shell ammo?

Did you hold R or E while holding the turret to swap ammo type?

As above, when holding any weapon you can hold "R" to get a new menu that lets you swap out what type of ammo you want loaded into it from the ones you have quipped.

Well I guess it doesn't really matter when you can go into another room to look at your turret through the window and it is gone forever.

I've had this happen normally when it was left placed on something. If you can still see the marker for it on the compass try looking at the base of whatever you put it on and you will often find it simply "fell" though solid matter to the ground.
And sometime it has even been known to fall a little ways into the ground.

Unless what it was on was far enough off the ground that the distance it fell could damage it enough to brake. Then it will indeed be gone for good.
It's best not to ever leave those things deployed when you will not be fairly close by, and definitely not when you plan to log off.

Sometimes a game reload can fix things falling through the world.

To randomly hijack this thread with a robotic shell question: How many pellets does the robotic shell ammo even get? Its damage suggests it becomes pellet damage (since its insanely low), but it doesn't say anywhere how many pellets there are, and the wiki doesn't seem to have any info on it either.

Typically if you load an ammo type into a weapon that has pellets the damage profile of the weapon will chance to reflect what it can do with that sort of ammo loaded.

This is also something to be careful of when comparing two weapons that although the same type have different ammo types loaded into them, because the game doesn't account for that the same way it does with any mods installed onto the guns.
