It could still fail tho... Think about this -- you can't stop oldschool mechanics or common sense with a capacitor bomb... Not everything runs electronically. Sure a lot of shit runs electronically -- so it probably works well if the enemy is stupid. It seems there would be plenty of weapons still in this day and age that don't use electronics but are fully mechanical.
Also, it seems like any chemical weapons factory that is our enemey -- all they would need to do is install lightning rods to diffuse the energy pulse.
It's still cool shit tho -- I had an idea once in college for a capacitor powered skateboard... Basically the wheels would be huge motors (w/ the coil inside the wheel) -- as you skate the charge would build up in the board (the board itself would be one giant capacitor layer) -- capacitors can store very high voltage man but in a short burst -- so anyway my idea would be to have like a turbo button that you press on the board and your shit would haul ass like fucking Back to the Future style... DOH!
