1st:  All military electronics are going to be
hardened to EMP to the point that if you're close
enough to be affected by EMP, you've got other
problems (like shockwaves and such).

2nd:  If the ESU as adopted the technology, it can be
fired with dead batteries, after being as a club by
non-technological savages, dropped in the mud, and
buried for a geologic age or so.  It just won't be
terribly accurate.
