EMP Blaster

An EMP Blaster is an experimental Tau weapon issued exclusively to XV46-4 Vanguard Commander Variant Void Battlesuits. EMP Blasters fire short ranged EMP rounds explode in a small area upon impact. Whilst the 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 armour and vehicle systems and disabling them temporarily. Sometimes, the EMP effect will even cause catastrophic failure in a system; leading to an explosive reaction for the unfortunate vehicle or robotic construct.
