The high-energy spectral cutoffs are discussed as a function of angle predicted by magnetized polar cap models of gamma-ray bursters, in the presence of magnetic pair production and general relativistic effects. The effect of the photon escape beam shape on the relative probability of detection as a function of energy is calculated for a range of model parameters. These predictions are compared to the burster cutoff upper limits observed with SMM and are used to derive constraints on the detectable magnetic field strength distribution among bursters from future observations. A method for determining the intrinsic magnetic field distribution among gamma-ray bursting neutron stars is discussed.
