I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but it isn't up on the wiki yet. So here goes.
While pitching one of my status vials at a gun puppy I noticed that the vial 'cleared' some of the bullets being fired at me after I threw it, effectively neutralizing them on its path towards its target. I tried it a couple more times and it seems like it'll clear all the bullets in its path before it breaks.
I kind of doubt this is a bug, though it could be. Regardless, I'm from off steam so I can't edit, but does this sound like something worth noting on the wiki? It IS a technique that might be helpful in rooms filled to the brim with turrets.

Edit: I continued researching how vials and projectiles interact.
- It seems like it can block more kinds of projectiles than just the basic 'energy shot' fired by turrets. I threw a vial at one of those mine-laying gremlins and intercepted his mine-toss, making the mine land on the ground midway between us. However, I couldn't manage to intercept the laser fire from the thin, gangly robots, so it likely doesn't block ALL projectiles.
- Type of vial doesn't seem to matter. I threw a shock vial at some shock turrets and still wiped their shots.
