The EMP Grenade is a grenade in the classic Team Fortress games. It detonates ammunition carried on enemy players or buildings, backpacks, pipebombs, and other grenades and sets enemy detpacks' timers to 1 in a cubical blast radius around it, including through walls, although dealing no damage of its own. This usually causes instant death when used on heavier opponents, such as Soldiers.

In Team Fortress Classic the only ammunition that can be detonated are rockets and shells, rockets exploding most violently.

It is only used by the Engineer.

Damage

Low to instant death, depending upon how much ammo is carried by the victim.
