It does not look like Sole's Girfriend will help..

Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapons are generally classified as non-lethal because they do not directly harm biological organisms. Instead, they use bursts of electromagnetic energy to disrupt or destroy electronic circuitry.
While not directly lethal to humans, an EMP can cause fatalities through secondary effects:
Infrastructure Collapse: A large-scale EMP could cause the long-term collapse of critical infrastructure, including electric power, water systems, and telecommunications, potentially leading to mass casualties from starvation and disease.
Accidental Harm: EMPs can disable the flight controls of aircraft or vehicle control systems, leading to catastrophic crashes.
Medical Failures: A pulse could instantly cut power to hospitals, endangering patients on life-support systems.
Fire and Heat: Very large EMP events, such as those from a nuclear detonation, can induce high currents that cause electrical fires or direct heating of objects.
Types of EMP Weapons
Nuclear EMP (NEMP): High-altitude nuclear detonations (HEMP) can cripple electronics over thousands of kilometers.
Non-Nuclear EMP (NNEMP): Often called "E-bombs," these use conventional explosives or high-power microwave (HPM) technology to generate a localized pulse. They are designed for tactical use, such as disabling a specific building's security or a drone swarm.
Directed Energy Weapons (DEW): Systems like the CHAMP missile use microwaves to fry electronic components without damaging surrounding physical structures.
