We already have automatic nerf and paintball turrets which to me says even if I haven’t seen one, it exists for real guns too.

I'd like to introduce you to the US Navy's Phalanx CWIS. It's a fully automated 20mm rotary turret designed to destroy aircraft, missiles, and small boats.

I'm not sure I understand what is going on in that video. Is the line from tracers and it's just firing stupidly fast?

Yeah. The line is tracers. Only every 7th round or something like that is a tracer, though. So for every one you're seeing there's another six you're not seeing. It's very much an 'accuracy by volume' sort of deal.

The thing looks goofy as hell, though.
