Would be nice to have option to use guns and ammo from inventory only. So simply player would need to have gun and ammo i inventory , otherwise could use turrets to spam ak's and ammo.
Option to use guns and ammo from inventory onlySuggestion
Given that previously players were unable to remove items from the turret without getting kicked, fixing that bug could indeed be seen as a regression. I can try to add something quick like just locking the turret inventory if the items were added automatically. Plus a config option to disable that.
Longer term I am working on a rewrite. Not decided yet on whether that will be a separate plugin or if this one will be updated. The scope will be to allow players to save custom loadouts of turrets, with one active at a time per player. It is probably best to make it use items from the inventory by default, unless the player has permissions for free items. Free items will probably need permissions to restrict allowed weapons, attachments and ammo types/amounts. The details of how these two modes should work together needs to be figured out still, as well as how the default loadout concept should work alongside them.

I thought about this more and discussed it with some others. I came to the conclusion that auto filling turrets from player items is at best a micro-optimization for player productivity since turrets are expensive and players are unlikely to have inventory space to fill very many turrets. Therefore, the plugin is unlikely to be used on servers with strong economic concerns.
However, I hear your sentiment about it being exploited so I released v1.2.0 which includes a new configuration option to lock the inventory of turrets that are automatically filled. This not only prevents players from taking out the items, but it also prevents the items from dropping when the turret is destroyed. Note that this could be an issue for players who want to customize the turret as they don't have a way to remove the items aside from powering it down while it's out of ammo (i.e., they would have to bait the ammo out which is dangerous and time consuming). Long term I intend to address this in the rewrite by allowing players to toggle the auto fill setting on a personal level.
