This tag and its children are usable regardless if the weapons actually use EMP or some other thing (e.g. ions) to accomplish the same or similar effect.
Note on the inclusion of ion weapons that they often function as generic energy weapons without the primary traits of electronic device disabling things that they should (or at most give bonus damage to such), this is not for weapons that give bonus damage to them but rather disable or "stun" such things.
