All I'm going to say... If someone fought me with a so called vibration weapon... They better be ready to be sorely disappointed.

Anyways.. I'll be back on in a bit. I am going to get some house cleaning done today. :) I started yesterday... but it really needs to be finished.

Vibration is a 'would-be' back and forth movement. A WOULD be Oscillation. However, the instable equilibrium and rate of speed creates far different motions. And WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SILLY! THIS IS THE ARENA! IT'S ALL ABOUT THEORY! XD

An inaccurate blanket term. It would be better to describe it as Oscillation Weaponry, but then that just ruins the point. Vibration is what we are looking for... and all that still doesn't dispute the fact that vibration weaponry, particularly light weaponry such as swords, only creating a disadvantage for a user, as I have stated above.

Oscillation is rhythmic process of object to continue it's repeating at certain interval of time, That interval is almost constant or proportionately decreasing. Under stimulated external force with a certain magnitude and direction produce oscillation of object, with continuously decreasing repetition time interval in traveling path.

Vibration is just a random motion of an object within limited path of movement it doesn't show any rhythm or continuous repetition or like that, So, vibration is random motion of object under external forces, in other words, doesn't follow any proportionality.

Vibration: an of the parts of a fluid or an elastic solid whose equilibrium has been disturbed, or of an electromagnetic wave.Oscillation:movement back and forth at a regular speed.

You would have had better luck saying "Vibration = Oscillation", however it's not true. Perhaps you should read your own definition of Vibration a little more closely. It is because of the object's equilibrium being disturbed, that makes it vibration rather than Oscillation. The patterns of movement are completely different because of that. One is a controlled movement, and the other is not.

have the blade vibrate front to back

That is not vibration. Again, distinct controlled movements.

Even still, if it could be applied, as Vordak has said... the only real weapon that it might even begin to benefit is a larger blunt weapon.

What the heck are you talking about? Vibration is a repeated pattern of movement and resonance, a jackhammer is the premier example of vibration utilized in a tool. Apply the same concept to a weapon and it would work the exact same way because the only thing it would be used against is flesh.

... armor.

Also, Let's take a hypothetical weapon that emits a high frequency vibration. And No, Jackhammer is not a vibrating tool. It uses a distinct pattern, at a distinct speed to successfully break apart something. This pattern is simply an up and down motion. It is a controlled movement. Vibration is not a controlled movement. If applied to weaponry, could easily break said weapon if applied on some type of axis even. If not, and simply vibrates throughout, the damage to the user could be more so dangerous to the user over an extended period of time than the weapon would be to an opponent. Now, let's go into a strike. A simple strike may cause no more than a dent, perhaps similar to a blunt weapon, because while it may come on with a strong vibrating force, it is rather uncontrollable, and may move on it's own. Now, the only logical attack, would be one that was placed on another object for a longer period of time. Then, although very scattered, it would require a tremendous amount of force to place it and keep it there, not to mention an enemy striking with his own force back at you, and then, even at that point, the amount of force required to keep the vibration on an object would inevitably slow the object's vibration down. Then, do to a weak structure of said weapon, that vibrated all the time, because it could not possibly have a strong structure due to it's vibration, the opponent could easily place the needed pressure and break it. You might get lucky against some smaller blades.. but bigger blades will receive nothing more than momentary damage, before completely breaking your own.

Then I refer you to jackhammers.

Still a distinct pattern. Vibration from this is simply the result of combining the hammer to a hard service that is resistant to being broken and not of it's own accord.
