Shock Blaster

A Shock Blaster is a non-lethal Ollapukkitian weapon that fires short-ranged rounds which explode in a small blast and generate an electric shock as well as an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) upon impact.

Whilst the weapon's rounds do not physically damage foes, they send out powerful electromagnetic pulses that disable electrical wiring and all kinds of mechanical systems, playing havoc with the internal systems of armour and other vehicles and disabling them temporarily. Meanwhile, the electric shock is often enough to stun or disorient organic targets, allowing the weapon to work on both robotic and organic targets.

Sometimes, the EMP effect will even cause catastrophic failure in a system, leading to an explosive reaction for the unfortunate vehicle or robotic construct.
