How to unlock the Glutton for Punishment achievement in BioShock Infinite - Definitive Guide
-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.
Credit for video goes to Reabo. Thanks again man :)
For anyone wanting a footage to accompany the guide I made one using your guide. I also gave you credit.

Feel free to include it in your guide :)
I loaded up Columbia, then went through the first part of the level. Just after the first part, you'll go through a door and pick up Ironsides. Then you'll go through a vent for a while. Right when you exit the vent, there's an autosave. There are two enemies on the deck. Empty your clip, and jump down. The enemies will fire. You can shoot the enemies if you like to re-empty the clip, because more enemies will come from around the corner.
When you run out of Eve (or just die), you will respawn back in the vent. Jump down, repeat, etc. I found it easier to shoot the enemies to empty the clip since I survived longer (on 1998 mode). Took me 3 runs (2 reloads) from that point without ever having used Ironsides to that point.
There is also 2 bottles of Eve:
1. Beside the door to the left
2. Right behind the turret
It takes about 3-5 minutes to get the achievement from this point.
Since I lock picked safely for my 1998 run, I didn't have the turret. Guess I'll start a new, easy run for diaries and this one.
Opening the "Work" door leads you to an elevator that takes you down. Once at the bottom, you will get a checkpoint save. The doors will open on a room that has two stationary enemies and one roaming enemy (he has a very small patrol circle). All three can be targeted from inside the elevator (you'll have to wait for the roamer to stand up from examining the floor), but the one sitting at the window won't detect you until you are well into the room. At the opposite end of the room from you will be a floating turret right outside the shattered window.
Whether or not you're in 1998 Mode, use your tranquilizer gun on all 3 enemies, fire any remaining ammo to empty the weapon and then walk toward the turret. As soon as it begins firing, hold LT while having Ironsides as your selected plasmid/tonic. Hold LT until the ammo in the crossbow is full and then back off.
Reload the checkpoint and repeat until the achievement pops. The sleep dart crossbow holds 4 rounds, so this'll take 5 reloads. If you think you have enough Eve for a second attempt before reloading, empty the crossbow and stand in front of the turret again (thanks to vSully for the tip).
Much easier than setting off alarms/using lockpicks and you can get it fairly shortly after entering Columbia.
This trophy required you to collect 20 rounds of ammo with the Ironsides plasmid which you will get shortly after returning to Columbia. If your weapons are full of ammo you won't be able to collect ammo so fire some shots off to make some space. The best way I found to do this is to play on any difficulty other than 1998 mode since you can fill up more ammo with your hand cannon. If you play on 1998 mode it will take much longer since the crossbow only holds 4 bolts at a time.
The best place I found is when you are searching for the hair sample in Columbia. This will be just before you get Audio Log 20 - Necessary Precautions and before you reach the area with the giant golden statue. You will descend an elevator and come to an area with a group of enemies and a turret at the far end on a ship through a broken window. Deal with all the enemies and leave the turret. Clear out all your hand cannon ammo and equip Ironsides, move in front of the turret and hold to use Ironsides and collect ammo. Keep doing this until you get all 20. You may need to empty your hand cannon ammo from time to time and if you run out of Eve, there should be a vending machine through a door to the right from where you entered the room.
If you wish to earn the trophy earlier then you can farm it right after you exit the vent from the First Lady, there will be a lot of enemies around to get ammo from and you can reload the checkpoint which will bring you right back to when you exited the vent.
Easily boosted near vending machines to replenish Eva.
