Not all. It mostly affects stuff connected to the power grid.

I used to design devices for military satellites that had to withstand a 1 megarad radiation dose from an atomic bomb, so I have some knowledge of what this stuff does to electronics.

Many cars would still be running, for example, in contradiction to the movies and fiction books about EMP.

Still though, I don’t want a smart gun. I don’t want my gun thinking, I only want it to obey.
