This electro-magnetic powerhouse does everything fast and hard - the EMD gun boasts some serious damage potential; it fires faster than nearly every weapon, but it sucks energy down like there's no tomorrow.

Don't hold down the EMD gun fire button for too long, or your energy will evaporate in seconds.

Along with a standard straight bolt, the EMD gun also fires out dozens of homing electromagnetic particles (or something that look like electromagnetic particles) - it's the perfect tool to eat up a room filled with enemy bots. And therein lies the primary use for this heavy-hitting weapon - don't waste the EMD gun and its propensity to suck down energy reserves on just one or two simple enemy bots. Wait until you've encountered a room full of baddies or have several tough guys chasing you. The EMD gun makes a great back-up-and-fire weapon. Once enemy bots are chasing you, turn the ship around and fly in reverse. With approaching bots in your sights, fire off the EMD gun and watch the electromagnetic particles do their magic.

For multiplayer games, some of the same principles apply, but not always. Energy is much easier to come by in multiplayer games; you usually won't run dry unless you've held down the fire button for extended period of time for no real reason than just to say, "Hey look! I can fire aimlessly for extended periods of time!" With that said, it isn't out of the question to use the EMD gun against a single human foe because frequently, a single human opponent is tougher to battle than five or six enemy bots. But again, a room full of human adversaries is still the most inviting use of the EMD gun. If you don't have an area effect missile (like the mega or black shark), the EMD gun should be the most effective tool in eliminating multiple opponents in a few single shots.
