    It sounds like it’s a directed microwave cooker. Works on people too, just not ones behind good cover.

    Edit: ah, high frequency, my bad, it’s a gamma gun. Same principles apply I think, give or take the cover.

      High frequency radio is still below the visible part of the spectrum, gamma is waaay above it.
