Vibrogenerators, most often found in the hilt or handle of the weapon, sent out high-frequency sonic pulses that could cause anything attached to the generator to be sent into an extremely quick vibration. When said object contacted something, notably organic tissue, the vibrations rippled across the material, destroying a much larger portion (in addition to the simple fact of the blow cutting more) and damaging the target more devastatingly than the original weapon. This caused even the slightest glancing blow to potentially become a gaping wound. Against the heavier of armour types, a vibroweapon could be upgraded with a focused vibro cell in order to focus the stabbing point of the weapon and penetrate even the toughest meshes.
