IIRC, Tachyon weapon works the same way as ionic dispersor (engine-killer) - all or nothing in a single shot. Namely, there is no "partial damage" carry over after the shot. It either destroys the component or the damage is ignored completely. If TW/ID can do more damage than needed for component destruction, this spare damage is also ignored. Thus, mounting normal weapon after component-specific weapon should not give any advantage, there is no any residual after TW/ID.
