Vibroaxes are a fairly crude development stemming directly from Light Shaker Beam technology. An axe is given an edge that vibrates extremely rapidly, allowing it to cut through many objects with relative ease. The idea is sound, but in practice the weapon is clumsy and annoying to use. Many a trooper has experienced bone-rattling irritation even when coming near the thing, let alone actually grasping it. With a bit of luck this device might someday be improved to become a weapon that will terrify one's enemies as much as it scares off your own, but somehow this seems unlikely. Still, any weapon is better than nothing, and it comes in handy even on rare occasions, it can't hurt to have the thing around.
