These tiny missiles would sit in an array of hundreds on a
platform the size of a dinner plate. At the push of a button
a
jolt of electricity would be delivered to one of them, which

600
hertz and upon arrival detonate in a tiny burst
of shrapnel.

So you may want to be more specific in your vibration description. |

I would rather have a mosquito killing laser beam [link]. |

How about a lead hat with a wide brim and a big lump of Cobalt -60 on top ? |
|
