My my understanding of some basic research, non nuclear EMPs need to be strategically placed in cities rather then detonated at altitude. Those types of EMPs have the limited range because the damage is done by field strength which falls off literally and is not total energy levels. Nuclear based EMPs detnated at high altitude in the van allen belt have the gama and beta radiation interact with the field causes a three pulses. An E1 which is a very high speed pulse that is nearly impossible to stop with hardening that will take out computers and sensitive electronics, the E2 which is easy to protect against but that protection is likely compromised by the E1, and finally the E3 which is a slow pulse that can last minutes and is the most dangerous to the grid because it would heat up the wires and transformers causing them to fail.
Nuclear and CME (Corona Mass ejections) both interact with our planet's magnetic field and cause a much wider area of destruction and I think are what is most important when discussing EMPs. The non nuclear strategic are something a terrorist could do but the damage would be mostly localized. However they could potentially effect more if they to teach the targeted failure points in our grid to attack rather then a city.
> Ah EMP, one reason i own a classic car
Tesla's have EMP shields though don't they? xD
wonder if they actually work
I don't think they have any more shielding then a normal car which are actually fairly shielded just by the design of cars. However most of the discussions I found on Tesla are only talking about EMPs that include an E1 pulse which I think only nuclear EMPs have and not CMEs. If you have an E1 pulse, anything with a computer is fried.
Frankly with E1 being next to impossible to protect against, I will just accept my fate at that point because to have an E1 pulse someone would have had to detonated a nuclear weapon nearby and either the radiation or following war will kill me. That's why I prefer to prep for CME which happen all the time but thankfully have only hit earth once after we had technology that would be effected by it and with enough strength to do any more than destroy satellites that aren't as protected by our magnetic field. An event like the 1859 Carrington Event would be disastrous for our modern world but with some hardening of the grid and your house's electrical panels can be severely mitigated.
This is more but it uses no batteries @Erby .. I swap it between alot of my rifles

Holosuns are great...I'll do a bit more research when I'm not at work
@Aperfectghost I'll pass it off to my friend and see if he's willing to save a bit more for it. Thanks
Illegally modified full auto AR15 with 200 round mag
In long run he'll save on batteries
What do you fly in the CAP? Just curious@JDButAPilot🇺🇸
@Aperfectghost Cessna 152, 172, gliders, sometimes jets, some pipers, and a couple other cessnas
Gliders would be fun, my uncle before he passed trained me on a Cessna 152
Also the sun can cause an EMP at literally any time with only an 11 minute warning so
Yeah we are timed for a complete power grid failure soon
No one knows when only NORAD installations and stuff of that level with be safe
Thats why I micro wave all of my electronics when I get them to pre EMP them like a shot
@Aperfectghost If you have free time i'd join your local sqaudren its cheap and amazing you get your private pilots for about 200$ instead of 2500$
Yep true, I should too bad I don't know what this freetime you speak of is but that's a better deal for a PPL
anyone remember this Beaut? the good ol Street Sweeper originally designed as a riot control tool for Police?
To bad I can't own one
why not just design tear gas grenade?, nothing against that old beaut, but wouldn't be better than launching cannisters? aslo having the cannisters explode, that's just a design flaw, I mean come on
@chaz you're surfing chat rooms plagiarizing the last room LMAO you liberal cuck knock it off.
we already have Tear Gas Grenades, they're fired from surplus or aged Military M32 Rotary Grenade Launchers
here's a hand thrown one
I need more ammo
ok, but, based on my LIMITED knowlage, they have a charge to release the gas, theres gotta be a safer way?
i assume, that its possible to use pellets that are loaded with powder?
They dont explode, they work pretty much exactly like regular smoke grenades where after the chemical reaction happens inside the grenade to form the gas, a hole opens up near the handle so the gas can escape
The only forms of Tear Gas that explode are launcher fired ones, and even then those are a rarity
As most launcher fired tear gas grenades still act like their hand thrown counterparts
Because frankly Tear Gas grenades are something you dont actually want to explode, as with then you only get a limited cloud of gas that only exists for about 10 seconds
@ThiccSpicyGenderRevealParty and yes it is possible to use pellets loaded with power if you are talking about Shotgun shells, infact there is a specific shotgun shell that is designed to fire incendiary White Phosphorus pellets
called Dragons Breath
ooh
I've heard of those before
beautiful
you can also literally rain fire down on an enemy position with them
