Where does the name "tau cannon" actually come from?

It's called the gauss gun in the files, but I have always called it the "tau cannon" because that was always what I perceived as the "real" name (it being based on a particle accelerator and all). But, what does that name actually come from?

It's not like it's ever named in-game, and like I just said, the game's data calls it the gauss gun.

EDIT:

It is called the tau cannon in the data of Opposing Force, in deathmatch, and in Half-Life 2

Is the bundle the only way to get different colored sashes now?

Adding the white sash to the squire was neat, but is spending the 2 bluestone for the sash bundle really the only way to get any other colors? Do they just require tailor affinity? I didn't play much last season and could not find any information regarding the subject.

It does look a bit cramped, forgive me.

This list is based on how much I personally like each weapon, and does not necessarily represent how effective I think they are. They are ranked left to right, top to bottom: my favorite is the RC-P120, and my least favorite is the Proximity Mine.

It is also based on the singleplayer campaign on the Perfect Agent difficulty and without cheats.

If you would like me to elaborate on any of these rankings, I would be glad to.
