BMECT! :) If you miss, firing again can help, particularly with a tight choke.
What's BMECT mean? Also, what's a choke?

Wow. Cool acronym. But wouldn't MECT be simpler?

Always Anti-fascist!
My life is like that all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PB & chocolate
This. Of course, just one has totally shut off my appetite. I can barely drink water, and I desperately need to. The chocolate-backed animal crackers may need to be tossed.

As for the choke, I have no idea.
Photons? Tricksy particle/wave thingummies that make up EM radiation.
Over and Under Combo Gun - shotgun and rifle.
But from looking at the links on the right side, is seems that "over and under" defaults to shotgun only.
But wouldn't MECT be simpler?
It's all about the BUT.

Just realized photons were too complicated and went with something simpler. Was tempted to say nothing and let it look like ita just spontaneously decided to mention photons, but... nah.

And also! I thought a nuclear explosion caused a magnetic pulse. Is that correct? Cause I got all nitpicky on The Sum of All Fears, and I'm wondering if I'm right.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, can someone tell me some basic facts about photons?
You can make torpedos out of them.
OK, photons can be visible light, but in fact photons can be any electromagnetic radiation, like microwave or radio or whatever. Photons are emited when an electron goes from a higher-energy orbit of an atom to a lower energy orbit. Photons are weird in that they behave both as particles and as waves.

Yes. It will disable radios, comptuters, cars (except for old diesel cars that don't need electricity to run) and other electronics.
