    Note: I don't know why I called it the inverted EMP but it sounds nice....

    The inverted EMP, reached at fifteen kills, would be an interchangeable option between the standard one. The EMP would, instead of blinding the enemy, simply render all enemy primary weapons inoperative for five seconds, thus forcing players to use their pistols.

    Why this isn't overpowered:
    1. The python is like a better msr so you could totally make that work
    2. Unlike the standard EMP the inverted one would just make the enemy panic unless they are really used to using the pistol
    3. Just like the standard EMP, the inverted one is a support kill streak, designed to allow your team to push the enemy back.

    Scenario: you and your teammates are being dominated as the red team in dday. As the only one who got around the left flank you have been able to pick off the enemy snipers and land a EMP. Suddenly the enemies weapons become unusable. Your snipers take the opportunity to attack and successfully push the enemy back to their spawn because about half failed to pull their pistols in time to defend themselves.

    Questions? Comments?
    Constructive criticism only please.

    Edit: alt. names
    Antigun blast
    AGW (anti gun weapon)
    Shock blast
    Shock wave
    Cripple (like an effect)
    Intimidation (the enemy team becomes fearful of the user)
    Any of those sound better then "nega EMP" or "inverted EMP"?

    Why snipers? Anyway, this reminds me of shock charges...

    Well, a real EMP disables electronics...

    Some things that wouldn't work out:
    • There isn't such a killstreak in any of the CoD franchise.
    • Not so useful when you can still use snipers in the midst.
    • The name doesn't sound right.

    Guns aren't electronic so this wouldn't have any effect in real life or in-game.

    Flashlight and red dot attachments would crash. But MC-War don't have any attachments.

    eh
    I dunno, I like our current EMP.
    Besides, honestly on a good day, I could nuke with the Python or Deagle single handed so this wouldn't really have any effect.

    Well I tried
    Yes, I agree completely @F1r3tar, but I couldn't think of anything better

    A note to those who said that since the guns aren't electronic the inverted EMP wouldn't do anything: I suck at names, so I couldn't think of anything better for essentially a primary weapon disabler then a different EMP, sorry.

    Also: I don't know if I didn't say this right or something but snipers are primary weapons to, so all of the enemy team's primary guns would stop working

    I don't know why either. This pseudo-EMP takes out the ENEMY's weapons, not the weapons of teammates, correct?

    Guns are mostly non electronic, though. The only real electronic things would be things like ACOG sights, flashlights, laser pointers, etc.
    What if aiming was disabled instead?
    Those who have shotguns wouldn't worry of course, but enemies using sniper rifles would have a hard time since they probably wouldn't be able to hit anyone.
    Disabling aiming is like the EMP knocking out red dot sights and ACOGs. I know it isn't 100% realistic since many weapons use iron sights and not optics, but if anyone has a better idea, feel free to say it.

    Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean Mc Brawl cant have it...
    All primary weapons are fried, they cant shoot. The only good weapons on the field for a short time would be pistols.
    I agree, inverted EMP sound more like it's blinding your team. I suggest something like Boom Beach's "Shock Bomb" or a better name that relates for to freezing. Here are my ideas for said name:
    - Shock Bomb
    - Jammer
    - Static Burst
    - Energy Disruptor
    - Scramblegun
    - Static Burst

    I would definitely use this as an alternative to an EMP. This is a pretty original idea, +1

    This is true, most weapons use gas systems to cycle the bolt and insert a new round. But since when did we have to be realistic? You can't run around holding a minigun but we've done that anyway. Some weapons like the raygun or LAW would technically be rendered inoperable because the raygun uses energy bursts focused with electricity and the LAW doesn't actually shoot without a target being sighted on and locked to first. The only shoulder mounted weapons with a sight-fire system is the SMAW, RPG variations, Bazooka, Panzerfaust, and Panzerchreck.

    Well to be fair the nuke alternatives thread was shut down because people thought it was to much leaned into
    si-fi. But on another hand we have the raygun, which is only in the game because of the call of duty zombies game, so why not a gun disabling EMP blast?
