Vibrorapier

A vibrorapier was a long, light, slender-bladed vibrosword suited for professional artists of the blade and extremely well-balanced. Designed primarily for thrusting, the vibrorapier can penetrate virtually any armor, making it an exceptionally deadly blade in the hands of a trained student of the sword. Many wielders became adept at slicing opponents' hands, causing them to drop their weapons. Most vibrorapiers featured elaborate guards and hilts to protect a user's hand from a similarly equipped adversary. Unlike other vibroblades, which emit an audible hum, vibrorapiers are completely silent, making them useful for those who rely on stealth to survive.
