What would an emp pulse do to them?

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the universe-Einstein.

IMO scary is when not everyone on the planet in 2019 doesn't have access to clean drinking water.

Well, likely as much as it would do to everything else

But if you have 1 million drones killing off your population or your troops a blanket solution is about all there is. I wonder how much it would cost to build a Faraday Cage big enough for me my wife and my cats to live in. Hmmm.

Only till the drones were dead from the EMP. [8D]

I doubt the drones could be emp proof but it is possible to make power sources EMP proof.
Favoritism is alive and well here.

Has there ever been a time when everyone had clean drinking water?ORIGINAL: IslandInland

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

That precludes no one else having it?

It just occurred to me that one of the Hammer's Slammers stories has equipment like that. Except drones in it each has a gun (powergun, 1 cm caliber). Those were brought in by local mafia boss. One of the Hammer's agents hacked control and cleaned the town.
If anyone ever proposes selling that crap to public for anyone to buy like hunting rifles, he should be told in LOUD VOICE that those drones can be used against him.

It has been claimed that in time of Middle Ages, there was a place without good drinking water. All people there drank beer, even children. It has even been claimed that there wasn't drinking water anywhere and everyone drank beer everywhere. Of course the second claim isn't true but mistaken(?) exaggeration of the first.ORIGINAL: IslandInland

Genuinely scary is the term indeed! Thanks for sharing MrsWargamer!!!

That's good. It's a bit like Black Mirror's 'Hated In The Nation", which is worth a watch!ORIGINAL: MrsWargamer
