KO'ing Storm with a Psi-Bolt
Can't believe I never noticed this little gem. So anyway in this story Emma uses something called a persona exchange module (PEM) to switch minds with Storm. The plan was entirely hers, she planned on infiltrating the X-Men. Shaw had a different plan. It's stated as much in the story. I even believe in her bio it's stated that she designed the gun.

Anyway...first I just want to show that the PEM does not render either user unconscious when used. If you read this issue you'd see both Storm and Emma are shown to be perfectly conscious after Storm reverses the process. Also note that the process is instant.

Which brings me to these two scans. Note the second scan first. The last thing Storm in Emma's body remembers is facing the White Queen and then getting psi-bolted (See first scan for incident). Now remember how the PEM doesn't render the users unconscious or hurt them (See above) and how the process is instant. Well, because of both of those facts we can deduce that Emma had to have psi-bolted her before she used the gun and that the gun was not the reason for Storms brain being fried.
So in short Emma mindrapes Storm again.
