    This is indeed the case and one of the reasons critical electronics are shielded to prevent EMP damage.

    It really isn't a complex topic. Think about the production of electricity for example........

    And no, it is borderline silly to suggest ammo would be affected.

    Sorry for coming off as "Silly". Like I said, I don't know how an EMP would effect things so instead of being a "keyboard hero" and making crap up when in all reality I don't have a clue, I come hoping to find an answer from those who know more than I do on this topic. Sorry if your intelligence was insulted....

    I know it's been presented, and I'm not calling you a liar. I'd just like to better educate myself on the matter.

    Thanks.

    This article is pretty good for some info, especially with respect to the effects, and the why of it:
