You can do plenty of damage with a normal microwave oven in the wrong hands, I remember reading a book from the library a few years back that detailed making an EMP from one.
Thinking of that book, I don't think it's likely that libraries would carry that kind of book any more, sadly.
Which book was that? A portable EMP could be really useful....
If I remember correctly, I think it was this one
http://www.amazon.com/Build-Laser-Phaser-Working-Projects/dp...
But, in the wrong hands, that's a directed-energy weapon, isn't it? (Hell, stick one of these in the right kind of tube and you've now got a coherent RF beam—a maser pointer. You could probably burn your name into a wooden building from across a football field with one.)
