| "The closest modern-day equivalent to the vibroblade is a KGB-Spetznaz weapon--the BALLISTIC knife.An actual POWERED weapon, it can be seen in the captured spytech section of the CIA's museum." (Winston Grant(NYC) 1/4/2005 9:30:44 PM ) |
| "I think a more accurate equivalent would be a lenghtened vibroscalpel of sorts" ( 9/8/2006 5:58:00 PM ) |
| "The Vibroblade was mentioned in a novel by Randall Garrett, Unwise Child, as a street weapon. It was described as a turkey-carver with a blade vibrating in the ultrasonic (presumably driven by a really high-powered piezo transducer). The hero, Mike the Angel, used a high-density magnetic field to immobilize it." ( 4/30/2010 10:33:55 PM ) |
