Yes because the only way to destroy technology is to smash it with a hammer.
Sure then. Just hack the planet. I am sure we can find a dolphin for Ice T to roll with.
Again. People keep thinking in terms of movies and all the YA we grew up on and so forth. They don't realize just how fucked everything already is and how "just destroy it" isn't viable.
And... you can't Resist if you don't know what is against you. Hell, you can barely Survive.
Take a steel wrench/spanner to the top of a telephone pole with one of those round transformers on top. Carefully drop the wrench so it connects with both of the connectors on the transformer. It will explode, so watch out. It will also create an EMP that should cover about a city block in radius.
Shorting a transformer isn't going to do anything with a EMP where are you getting that?
What it WILL do is create an arc thats about 20k+ c that will kill you if you're lucky. But yes it'll probably knock out power for a few hours.
A rifle bullet can easily destroy a transformer. All it takes is a hole to drain the liquid from it.
Someone watched "Toy Soldiers" and thought it was a documentary.
