A vibro weapon is very distinct from its unpowered counterpart in that the blade will vibrate very rapidly when activated. The rapid oscillations give the weapon a considerable boost in power, allowing it to cause more damage. Like all powered weapons, a vibro weapon requires one or more energy cells to operate.

When mounted on a rifle, a vibrobayonet allows you to use a rifle as a potent melee weapon. Even if you used the rifle to make a ranged attack on your last turn, you still threaten squares within your reach as long as your rifle has a mounted vibrobayonet, and you can use it to make attacks of opportunity. A vibrobayonet requires two hands to use when mounted on a rifle.
A vibrobayonet cannot be used when mounted on a rifle with a folded stock. A vibrobayonet detached from a rifle functions as a vibrodagger; a mounted vibrobayonet deals more damage than the vibrodagger because of the added leverage and bulk.
A vibrobayonet requirs an energy cell to operate. (Its power does not drain energy from the rifle’s power pack.)

Because of how they are worm, vibroknucklers can’t be disarmed or dropped.
