Errr... do you have any facts to back up these claims?

I know for a fact that the hydrostatic shock(wave) that takes place within
a soft target does actually take place and that severe damage is caused by
the expansion of the resulting temporary wound cavity. Perhaps you are
referring to the "theory" that the effect of all that force on the human
nervous system forces a person into shock due to the simultaneous
stimulation of so many nerves?

And EMPs? A myth? I seriously doubt it. Unless, of course, you are
referring to a particular step in the EMP process and not the effect as a
whole...
