I have always thought of magic as an interference to tech, much like holding a magnet up to a tv will distort the picture (and if left there permanently do so). Having magic output small (even very, very, small) emp's is vast overkill. As it would kill all electronics in a noticeable area. And that just doesn't mesh with cannon.
And yes (to cut off the nits before they can be picked) if you scale down an emp enough it simply becomes interference. What makes it an emp is the (very) large amount of potential difference over a (very) short distance. Likewise if you squeeze other types of interference down to a short enough time span and jack the power up, it approaches the effect of an emp.-Terry
