How would you optimize for maximum gamma rays, in a specialized EMP weapon?
I guess minimum casing, so there's not so much scattering and absorption.
And making a very efficient core, so simply a lot of material fissions and fusions?
I tried asking Claude and Chatgpt but they both refused to discuss it, even on the level of pure physics unrelated to weapons.
