How to unlock the Glutton for Punishment achievement in BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition - Definitive Guide
This one can be a little tricky. Ironsides is a plasmid that lets you steal bullets from an enemy's gun while they fire and then inserts into your gun. I didn't get it in my first playthrough, so what I did was reload the chapter "Return to Rapture". The best way to get the achievement is to hold LT when enemies fire at you. The single activation doesn't seem to work very well. When you load the chapter you will hear Ryan talk and send a bunch of enemies at you. Use Ironsides on these enemies, then keep reloading the chapter until you have it. It shouldn't be too hard this way.
-This does work in 1998 mode (thanks to Samarin6 for confirming) - "yes it works in 1998 mode, just make sure you aren't full on ammo for your equipped weapon as you can't gain any more"
- You can also do this against a standard turret. You can "summon" a turret by purposely hitting a red node when lockpicking. However, I personally don't suggest doing this because certain people (including myself) had trouble getting it to work on turrets.
Here's a video if you required extra guidance.

I can confirm this works in 1998 mode. A great place for unlocking this is at the first group of enemies you encounter after dropping down from vent after acquiring Ironside.
Eliminate the enemy directly ahead and then empty your clip. The enemy to the right of the vent is an ideal target to focus Ironside on. Once you run out of Eve just reload the checkpoint which will place you back in the vent just before you dropped down.

The above guide is great just wanted to let people know an easy way I found to get the achievement pretty much as soon as you get ironsides. Once you get it and go through the vents you have a handful of enemies in the area that you can aggro and drag down to the bottom area where there is a dollar bill machine to just continually refill your salts while you let them use you for target practice.

I did it this exact same way, drag down to the dollar machine and buy salts as required.
Once out of coin, get killed and reloads to the same point.
