The vibroblade (X-Com "Terror from the deep") was a
great weapon that changed the battles completely in
close combat. I preffer the vibroblade over the
kerrblade, which looks nasty, but isn't a knife nor a
blade. Plus, the vibroblade could sound much more
terrifing >:)
Idea : using the vibroblade to cut thru doors and such.

P.S. If you include the vibroblade, just add at least
one lobsterman! :))

The kerrblade is an alien weapon anyway and you can
bascially compare it to the klingon bathlet (or howit's
called) ... more a show-weapon that something real:

And the ufoai equivalent to the vibro blade would be our
version of a stunrod (this version is nastier than its name
sounds):

Mind you that the descriptions may not be up to date
(especially the one of the stunrod)

I'm closing this FR then.

PS: And concerning the name: I doubt that we will use any of
the names of the X-COM games. It's partly a legal issue and
partly that we want to do 'original' things here. Not
re-create existing things. Dosbox and/or ufo2000 is your
friend in that case.
