Disabling them allows players to authorize them, load them with ammo, at which point they will blast anyone within range.  Would love an update :)

just ent kill them

ent kill your face.

I solved this by making the following modification to ProcessNPCTurret():

private void ProcessNPCTurret(BaseNetworkable entity)
{
    if (entity == null || entity.IsDestroyed || !(entity is NPCAutoTurret)) return;
    var npcTurret = entity as NPCAutoTurret;
    npcTurret.Kill();
}

or ent kill them, or take over the turrets yourself, duh

The code above kills the turrets automatically.  But feel free to keep logging in like a monkey each wipe and doing it yourself.  

My turrets never shoot my players and they're still in peacekeeper mode.  Edit your config noob

@explodedotgg"ent kill your face" "like a monkey" dude dont be a rude, he is just try to help you and not all have experiance about coding.
if i dont have a little bit now experiance about c# so i would use  del assets/content/props/sentry_scientists/sentry.scientist.static.prefab
in the console to delete this entity !

The suggestions were not useful.  I posted a bug and a code fix (that's called being useful).  We can agree to disagree here.
