If I knew -how- to make a one-directional turret, I would.
I recently found out that it is possible to override the actor's sharp aim by constantly setting AnalogAim (found in the Controller class), but I'm not 100% sure this works under AI control.

Code:
function Create(self)
   self.Ctrl = self:GetController()
end

-- limit aim to the first quadrant (up-right)
function Update(self)
   if self.Ctrl.AnalogAim.AbsRadAngle > 0.2 then
      self.Ctrl.AnalogAim = Vector(1,0):RadRotate(0.2)
   elseif self.Ctrl.AnalogAim.AbsRadAngle > 1.5 then
      self.Ctrl.AnalogAim = Vector(1,0):RadRotate(1.5)
   end
end

-- limit aim to the second quadrant (up-left)
function Update(self)
   if self.Ctrl.AnalogAim.AbsRadAngle < 1.6 then
      self.Ctrl.AnalogAim = Vector(1,0):RadRotate(1.6)
   elseif self.Ctrl.AnalogAim.AbsRadAngle > 3 then
      self.Ctrl.AnalogAim = Vector(1,0):RadRotate(3)
   end
end
The if-statements will be a little bit more complicated if you want to be able to aim in both first and fourth quadrant.

Not enough bullet drop. I shot it on a looping map on a slightly upward angle and it just kept looping gradually upwards until it went off screen. XD Other than that its awesome!

Any more and it would be silly.
My suggestion is not to play on equally silly looping maps.
