You click on the turret. By the information panel about it there will be some buttons to press: Manual target, turn off and forbid use/repair.
You see this tank?

This tank is the epitome of "I'm going to destroy you"


This tank can make Chuck norris cry.

Pretty much the same thing. You click on the colonist, draft them, then press the F key or the manual fire button then select what you want to fire at.

Right click is move while they're drafted. Left click after pressing F/fire is to shoot at the target you designated.

Bear in mind that A) your colonist needs a weapon, B) he can only shoot at things within his weapon's range, and C) unless he's using a Frag Grenade or Molotovs, he can't target the ground, or plants, or objects just resting on the ground.

After you recruit your colonist and press F, there should be a small icon of his weapon following your cursor around, or a "no" symbol if your colonist does not have a clear line of fire.  Circles will appear whenever you pass over anything you can actually target.
