To create an antimatter weapon, you'd need to generate much greater quantities of antimatter. It won't be happening any time soon because the energy it takes to creat a sufficient quantity is a lot, I believe.
In another recent development in CERN’s antimatter programme, the ASACUSA experiment has demonstrated a new technique for producing antihydrogen atoms. In a paper soon to appear in Physical Review Letters, the collaboration reports success in producing antihydrogen in a so-called Cusp trap, an essential precursor to making a beam. ASACUSA plans to develop this technique to the point at which beams of sufficient intensity will survive for long enough to be studied.

Such a 'beam' would be an ultimate weapon, fire it at an incoming missile and it disappears (or more realistically blows up in flight). You could possibly even stop an incoming laser beam. Of course when the 'bad' guys get this tech...

Neat idea but it wouldn't work. We don't live in a vacuum. It's quite the opposite.

Yes, in reality what would happen is that the weapon would disappear in a mushroom cloud when someone attempts to fire it.
