EMP Grenade

The EMP Grenade is a new Special Grenade that appears in Modern Warfare 3. When thrown, it disables enemy equipment and electronics within the blast radius. It also gives the effect of the EMP pointstreak for a few seconds. When thrown at a player, it causes the same effect as an EMP. It explodes after about a second after throwing.

It is also very useful for getting rid of Recon Drones and Sentry Guns or painting a group of enemies when one has the Recon perk equipped. The throw time is faster compared with the ones of the stun/concussion grenades featured in previous Modern Warfare titles and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Also, the player only receives one instead of two grenades, possibly for balance purposes.

Trivia

 * It works more effectively on the Wii version as it can destroy Pavelows, Ospreys and even the Assault Drone with a single EMP grenade.
