Any camera, bullet or turret, will get rain on the lens protector. I've got two turrets mounted in trees, meaning the base is vertical rather than horizontal, and they hold up very well. The ball portion is waterproof and that's where the camera actually is. I have rigged a rain shield for a 3241T-ZAS that is mounted to a vertical post. That one faces southwest and gets a "face" full of rain/snow with almost every storm. The rain shield is just a piece of slat from a vertical blind, trimmed to length and held on with a cable tie. It does work very effectively though.
