Think of it like your driving down the street and you turn around to say
some thing to the person behind you, the vechiles still moving but who is
controlling it. In SR you just refused the handling action so now make a
crash test. With turrents you not *driving* it your just pointing it in the
direction you want to shoot so you really don`t need a handling test.
