I've done a little research, and I still don't buy it.
You do mean EMP, and not HERF? (high-energy radio frequency)
Even then, it doesn't sound like something you can just throw
together in the field.
You do seem to be a bit reticent on the details of
such a device, which does not help your credibility. So I've
been having a fantasy that I would start "demanding proof and
reasons", then in a couple of days it would turn into an ugly
flamewar like: "U LUZER! You couldn't make an EMP device in
a capacitor factory! Prevaricating Jack o' Napes! ..."
Then we would take it to Brin-L War (7 members, 5 posts so far)
and duke it out, mano a mano.
But it's too much work. : )
