Problems with particles on turrets

The next possible reason I will consider is the way the emitter is used over three turret is not the same.
Since you said that you tested the emitter on tank turret, I will assume all three turrets use the ShapeBaseImageData datablock to make the emitter appear. If the image on one of your turret is defined differently from other two, surely you will get a different effect.

Everything is the way it is supposed to be. I've checked many times. The particles vanish when they exceed a certain distance to the turret. How fast the particles go, how big they are or how long they do or are supposed to exist has absolutely no influence on if or when they vanish. They always vanish after a certain distance, which never seems to change.

If you are using milkshape3D, the direction of each joint is not displaced. However in Blender, the direction of joints are nicely shown and can be changed easily.

You don't say. Even if I did mess up the direction of one (Which is impossible in Blender since it's so obvious) I would have noticed because I exported the model at least five times by now.

Have you tried applying rotation, location and scale? It might do something.

I'll give scaling a try.
