Description
The Impact Hammer, originally designed for sub-surface drift mining, can focus several hundred metric tons of pressure into the space of a few square centimeters. The impact, and resulting shock wave, easily destabilizes solid stone to speed ore separation and excavation. After several mining accidents highlighted the Hammer's devastating effect on the human body, the N.E.G. military took interest. To improve the Hammer's effectiveness against vehicles with shock-absorbing armor, an alternate electromagnetic pulse (EMP) mode was added. The EMP violently scrambles onboard computer systems, quickly leading to engine failure. Field testing showed the EMP has a similar effect on infantry Power-Ups, knocking them off soldiers and enabling battlefield recovery.

I can appreciate the brutal potential of a handheld pneumatic rock-crusher re-purposed to destroy vehicles and turning enemy humans into jelly, but the recoil would almost certainly turn the operator's arms to gravel, if not completely tearing them off at the shoulders. For every force there is an equal and opposite force; several hundred metric tons of force being shoved forward would send several more metric tons of force backwards, so unless this can effectively redirect that force, we're looking at a weapon usable only on heavy, stable vehicles.
BUT, as reality never should have any impact on creativity, I love this and wish I could get my hands on it.
