I'm actually not really, because while there might be some very exotic behaviors predicted by quantum physics, they still obey some fundamental laws like conservation of energy and momentum.

Damage, regardless of if it is caused by missiles, lasers, ballistic projectiles, or whatever, is basically a transfer of energy. So, as a [i]general[/i] rule, more energy means more damage. That's why weapons traditionally involve giving a projectile velocity.

So
regarding
a
theoretical
weapon
using
tachyons,
you
might
be
generating
low-energy
tachyons
and
raise
them
to
high-level
tachyons
for
doing
damage.
In
which
case,
because
of
the
funny
nature
of
tachyons,
it
would
actually
be
a
tachyon
[i]de[/i]celerator.
Instead
of
adding
energy
by
increasing
velocity,
it's
adding
energy
by
decreasing
velocity.

Anyway, just calling it a "Tachyon Decelerator" would make slightly more sense, for something that is imaginary anyway.
