Ive never fully understood the whole concord/sentry gun thing in .4-.1 systems
If i take a shot at a target at a gate or station the sentry guns will take aim and start shooting me correct? If the target doesnt return fire he can just slip through the gate so I have to kill him quickly..correct? How long will the sentry guns fire? Is there an exact time limit? Reason I ask is ive heard of "tanking" sentry guns.. My characters drake in question can tank alot.. The shield recharge rate is in the low 100 second region.. I can fly all sorts of goodies just scared of sentry guns shredding my t2 ships
What is the most important thing i need to know about sentry guns?
Edit.. if you warp scram a ship can he still jump through a gate if he doesnt return fire?

so for instance the Tama system.. Are all the battles going on in asteroid belts and next to planets and not on the gates?

If you shoot anyone on a gate or station who isn't flashy red, you will take a sec status hit and get a Global Criminal Flag (red lettering). This will last for 15 minutes. For those 15 minutes, sentry guns will shoot you constantly unless there is someone else with a GCC in their range, in which case they'll cycle.
In addition to your GCC, you'll get aggro to the owner of the sentry guns shooting you (yellow lettering). This means that even if you lose your GCC, sentry guns might still shoot you if you were in sight of them. Always wait an extra couple of minutes after the yellow lettering goes away, it's slightly bugged sometimes and you'll just end up with another timer.
Do you just warp out of the sentry guns 150km range to an asteroid field or safe spot to protect your ship? Im confused on how you kill people with sentry guns trying to kill you
If your target doesn't engage you, they can use the gate or dock. If they do engage you and decide to stop, they have to wait 60 seconds before docking or using the gate. Same goes for you, 1 minute timer for docking/jumping gates after aggression.
Sentries have a range of 150km (from the gate or station) and do around 350dps (if I remember right) split across all damage types. They have perfect tracking, will kill your drones if you get aggro to them and will kill most anything below a cruiser very quickly.
Im confused..how do you kill someone if the sentry guns are pounding on you? Do you bring a remote repper buddy with you? Does the repper guy get a GCC if they start repping your ship?

so does piracy take place mainly in belts and at planets? No sentries correct?
