However, seeing as the current technology is only using metal projectiles for their prototypes, do you think it's a reasonable assumption that they'd advance to over-charging a battery-like principle in a bullet that upon impact releases an electro magnetic pulse, simulair to what nuclear weapons have as an unexpected side-effect? I don't know.. I just thought that it's very well possible..

I just thought that it's very well possible.. Yes that's quite possible and it'd be an awesome weapon, shoot a tank or something and fry the electronics in it. Exactly, more humane too, as it's occupants remains safe. You just take out their weapons.
