Since the EMP would try everything electrical, what kind of weapons would we yes to retaliate that don’t use electricity?

Not everything electrical would be fried by an EMP strike, but there is quite a bit of uncertainty.
In EMP testing that a colleague of mine was involved in, near Natick, only about half the cars that were running were killed by an EMP. Most of those that were shut off would run. Quite a few that ran had some problems, but were functional.
That was 15 years ago, so I do not know if modern cars are more or less vulnerable. They are clearly more digital.
I recall the facility was near Natick Research and Engineering Center in Maryland.
