GAMMA WORLD 4th edition (1992, p.106):

A vibroblade is found as a simple plastic tube 30 cm (12") long. The 
simultaneous pressing of a pair of recessed buttons springs the 
1-meter-long blade from one end. The dagger version has a 25 cm (10") 
blade. This blade is a glowing blue force field shaped into a 
mathematically perfect edge and point. The base of the hilt holds 
the power cell. 

Blades are +10 THAC and do 8d6 points of damage. 

Daggers are +6 and do 3d6 points of damage.

 * Vibro Blade (Dagger): 
	HKA 1d6 (3 DC) with 6 points of resistant piercing or AVLD Forcefield.
	[normally d6-1 = 2 DC -> 3 DC = +1 DC or 150%]

   Vibro Blade (Short Sword): 
	HKA 1 1/2 d6 (5 DC) 
	[short sword is normally 3 DC x 150% = 4.5 DC]

   Vibro Blade (Broad/Long Sword): 
	HKA 2d6 (6 DC) 
	[broad/long sword is normally 4 DC x 150% = 6 DC]

 * Vibro Blade (Bastard Sword): 
	HKA 3d6-1 (8 DC) with 10 points of resistant piercing or AVLD Forcefield.
	[bastard sword is normally 5 DC x 150% = 7.5 DC]

   Vibro Blade (Great Sword):
	HKA 3d6 (9 DC) [up to 6d6 with STR!]
	[2-Handed Sword is normally 6 DC x 150% = 9 DC]

Note: 	vibro-force blades are lighter than regular metal blades and 
	thus have a lower STR Min and so they tend to do even more 
	damage than the increased base DC would indicate!

Piercing for 4th ed. versions.
