Some 10 years ago or even more there was a major scandal with an
attempt from Iraq to obtain special capacitors from a company in USA,
for their nuclear weapon program. Who can be sure that you really
want to build a toy ? :-)))

as they may be it could be a possibility. Try chemical-reaction explosion of
a rare-earth magnet fired into a closed loop coil or metal-disc.

Any rapid discharge of capacitors is hard on the units - there are
electrolytics that are made for discharge service. The ones called
"photoflash" are made to have lower internal resistance and inductance
and have stronger internals to take the stress of rapid discharges.
There is another type of capacitor that may be more suited for your
application; this is the "inverter duty" type, usually a oil-paper
type or something like it. These units are also intended for high
ripple applications,.

I'm afraid that most research in "EMF" weapons was abandoned long ago.
They don't work very well, if at all.
Think of it this way: the aim of an EMF weapon is to provide a radio wave
of such amplitude that it will crumple automobile crankshafts, or at least
produce very high electric fields in electronic devices such that gate
dielectrics are broken down.
Suppose, with great effort, you were able to obtain a voltage spike with
amplitude of two million volts for perhaps a microsecond. That would
require quite a few capacitors and a good deal of interesting insulation
work, I should think.
But EMF's of this magnitude are produced on a regular basis by lightning
strikes, and they don't wipe out computer memories, or disable vehicles,
or anything of the sort. Adequate shielding isn't very hard to acheive
against even the most severe lightning conditions--with the obvious
exception of a direct strike on the electric power lines or communications
lines connected to equipment. And modern lightning arresters limit damage
from even a direct strike in many cases.
So it's not at all clear what this sort of activity is supposed to
achieve. You can learn a good deal of the progress that was made in this
field from IEEE T. Nuclear Science and IEEE T. Electromagnetic
Compatibility. The work is quite interesting, but it never went much of
anywhere.
No, they didn't figure out how to make suitcase capacitor weapons in a
secret laboratory. Most secret weapons have a secrecy life of something
like ten years, and the secret weapons labs don't tend to be secret at
all. Ain't no death rays out there. Sorry.
