Alternate names: Vibroblades, Vibrating weapons, Oscillating weapons

Essentially uses the same principle as jackhammer, but with a step into the extreme and obviously with less bulky driving mechanism. Rapidly chiseling away anything struck with such weapon as it is swung, commonly have extreme armor penetration capabilities not to speak of rending flesh and bone.

Occasionally the vibrating effect is somehow attributed to sound.

Most commonly these exist as swords but hammers and spears (or spikes) are somewhat common too.
