Why can't you shoot/pick up mines when they are EMPd?

It never made sense to me why you can’t shoot or pick up a mine when it’s EMPd, I get disabling mines, but it gets a bit silly. Maybe remove the noise that Phantoms shield makes rather than have this EMP, I mean, you can still see him lol.

EDIT: Is Phantom the only merc with a special ability that negates other mercs special abilities?

all explosives puts out fire … throw a mine into fire to get free path

Mine can be shot and it will explode even when EMP’ed, afaik

100% guaranteed you can shoot mines and sticky bombs when they are EMP’d but you can’t reclaim them to nullify the disable time.

Extremely satisfying when you kill phantom with two stickies you put on him by shooting them. Or just shooting your disabled gadgets when the enemy team, thinking they are safe with a Phantom leading the charge, run all over them
