Well, THAT'S easy: magnetized AP .50BMG rounds, of course!
Zombies, werewolves... ok. What about killer robots?

Good point, but I believe that most of those tests where recorded on film, not video tape. Also, something that needs an advanced AI like a combat Bot and needs to be mobile will not be as simple/well armored as something stationary taking pictures.

robot tactics
If it has metal for armor use hydrofloric acid.
If it has plastic composites for armor use fire/heat.
If it has ceramic composites for armor use projectile weapons.
If it has a combination then use a combination of above.
I would think a marker gun would be appropriate for delivering small amounts of hydrofloric acid.
If you just want to slow it down, get lots of fly paper. It might make it easier to affect with fire if you get enough flypaper stuck to it.
I seem to recall the original dreaded Daleks of Dr. Who fame could be stopped by a stairway,

I don't know that the technology exists to render a robot completely impervious to EMP while still maintaining operable status. If it did exist, it would ceratinly be cost prohibitive to erect an army of robots with such technology.

EMP shotgun shells, like in the Fallout games.

Sawzall?
When I first saw the title, it reminded me of something that happened a while back. I was cutting up a car at a buddy's house and someone that knew him pulled in.
After a few mintues, I got a pretty stange question (paraphrased conversation):
"Were you in the military?" ("were" was probably due to my hair)
"Uh, no."
"Law enforcement?"
"No, why?"
"Well, the first thing I noticed was you holding that sawzall at low-ready, with your finger off the trigger. Just now, when I walked in front of you, you lowered the muzzle, and picked it right back up after I passed."
"I do the same thing with drills."

I am thinking shotguns, with componation of shot and slugs, lots of slugs and shot.
Shotshells were the best way to do in the replecators on SG1. And if you get incounter something else that does not go under through the use of 12 gauge slugs. You might want to find some Ma Duces or Bushmaster 25 mms with explosive tips.

What?! no-one adopts a flat, teutonic monotone and says "Phased plasma rifle in der vorty watt range"?
This place has changed, man...
A friend of mine in the British army said some time ago that all their equipment and vehicles are proofed against EMP. We were talking about that bit in "Broken Arrow" where the Hummer gets disabled by the underground nuke, I think. He also grumbled that the radios now weigh a ton...
Well, if that's true, it can't be so difficult to shield your killer robots too.
How about powdered graphite? A "Magsafe" type round carrying graphite instead of shot, maybe?
I'll start sharpening the pencils, just in case...

I'd mail order a sexy ACME she-robot to lure the killer robots to the beach.
I doub't they can swim.

How about smart robots remote controlling mechs?
Or perhaps a wind up robot... no electronics.

A phase plasma rifle in the two hundred watt range?

Tell me again what Lara Croft was carrying when she played her games with the robot?
I'd like something just a mite heavier than that.
I'm not as athletic as she is.

IIRC they were comped USPs. Dont know what caliber.

Zach, they were SUPPOSED to be .45s, according to the tech manuals at the time. The actual guns used were, however, 9mms...
And weren't her primary weapon, in my opinion...

Koobuh said:Gatling lasers and pulse rifles tend to make short work of robots.
Nah, for leaving robots seriously FUBAR in Fallout:Tactics... The M2 loaded with depleted uranium 50 BMG, don't leave home without it.
But really, the right tool depends on the type of robot. For generalized "oh no the toaster is alive" mayhem, an M1 garand loaded with 30-06 AP should make short work of most "problems". For bigger problems, a windrunner in 408 Cheytac loaded with those cupro-nickle alloy bullets.

Shielding and hardening against EMP isn't hard, it just increases cost and mass(as would be expected). If you have robot factories turning out robots, then it's not nearly as much of a problem, and so you can expect it.
They're messing with bullets that have pziezo-electric crystals in them. When stressed, you get a pulse of electricity. If you can delay the shock until after it's penetrated any armor and grounding(remember how you're electric drill is double insulated), it would wreak havoc in electronics.
I'd definitely have to say explosive though. If only in a secondary weapon. It ultimately depends on whether the manevolent AI is going the "masses of cheap stuff" route, or is building a few well made bots.
