[i]I understand that, but, considering that bullets aren't really a powerful weapon, that don't do a lot of damage. Vibrations do do a little damage, but not that much.[/i]
Oo... How I LOVE to argue! OK, lets take a standard U.S. Military Vulcan Minigun. It has 6 rotating barrels and fires a 20mm round at a rate of nearly 200 a second. The ones designed for Vietnam had 6 to 8 rotating barrels that used a 5.57mm to a 7.62mm round at nearly 300 a second. A single burst can cut down several trees within range. If you want really big guns, there's the 6 barreled monster that the A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) was built around that fires Coke bottle sized rounds. A burst from this weapon actually slows the aircraft down in flight and tears up a heavily armored tank weighing 40 to 70 tons.
As for vibrations not doing damage? I really don't want to get into the physics of it. Lets just say that a single soundwave can tear down a wall, a single note can shatter glass, and if you grip a baseball bat too tightly, it hurts like hell when you smack the ball.

Now lets say that Bro'Grim is currently mounting the smaller of these weapons. Using the stats of the GE M-134, he had fired 133 rounds right into your sword. Each round travels at around 740 MPH (Average speed for most rounds excluding longbarreled and aircraft mounted guns). At say, 2 ounces, this round hits a target at at least 92.5 pounds on impact. Using the rate of fire of 113 rounds, that equals to approximately 12,302 pounds of combined weight. Now we know that not all of the rounds in a one second burst would hit the target. So we could assume that about half of them hit. That still means there's more than 3 tons of pressure on the weapon.
Can you honestly say, that even in the realm of Sci-fi and fantasy, that you and/or your weapon can take the brunt of 3 tons of lead being thrown at you without taking ANY damage whatso ever? Also, if you were able to hold on to this weapon during this short amount of time, imagine where the slugs would be going! Because you were strong enough to hang on to your sword that miraculously didn't break and caused no harm to you, the slugs have now just rained hell all over the area causing danger to the rest of the party as well as the environment.
But, since you're able to resist this powerful disarming attack, I now deem you a munchkin. Sorry everyone, it's gonna rain lead all over unless Tsurshi changes his mind...
Unless Tseng comes up with something better! Anyone got a set of d-10's?
