Description
The electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, weapon is a specialized low-velocity projectile weapon. It fires a localized field EMP grenade with a proximity fuse. The grenade's explosion is a complex process, using a priming charge to generate a plasma lens and a secondary charge to induce a directed EM pulse in that lens. The entire process takes place in a tiny fraction of a second. The pulse is powerful enough to disrupt even hardened electrical and electronic systems in the target vehicle or structure, and render them temporarily inert.
