The "pull weapons" thing is silly, it's a magnetic field so if you're that close the same weight in explosives should kill them, and with the forces it would need it's not going to be non-lethal.
I could maybe see this as an active defence system. Have a little turret, if you detect an incoming slug you fire your little grenade at the slug, it sets off a pulse that imparts substantial impulse to anything that's magnetic, diamagnetic, paramagnetic (lead, steel, uranium all included). Maybe it could send a high speed slug tumbling, or off course, not sure.
In general I think RTAPS is much more likely to have civilian uses than military ones, aside from banal military uses like "the generator works more efficiently because parts are superconductive now". Maybe railguns, but I don't think electric resistivity is the limiting factor there, more friction or plasma confinement.
