(As written in the N in-game help)
there are two key differences between you and these guys; they can't move, and you can't fire deadly ninja-seeking rockets.
Tactics
This devious turret will fire a single homing missile at you whenever you are in it's line of sight...which is basically everywhere around it that isn't covered by terrain. Only 1 rocket will be fired by each turret at any one time. If the rocket explodes without killing you, the turret will fire another if you are still within sight. The rocket travels rather quickly, comparable to the ninja's top speed, and has advanced homing software. The turret has a slight delay after it senses you before it fires.
Multiple rockets are hell, as seen in 19-4 Quad Damage. Difficult terrain, lots of bounceblocks, or enclosed space also allows the rocket to do maximum damage. An extreme and unique example of this is shown in Brickman's 80-3 Full Circle, where you HAVE to keep the rocket behind you all the way. Sadistic, and very very fun.
