MW2 RPG has a sonic stunner.

Was thinking a bit bigger more vehicle mounted.

Just saying that the idea is pre-existing in part. you could build an anti-infantry gun around an up scaled stunner.
I do not see much practical application beyond that though other than to scare this shit out of a target. Aerofighter performing a strafing run with a sonic cannon. New variant of the Banshee, lol.

Well, i could imagine something like sonic stun pulse generator. A 2 crit, 2 ton device that paralyzes unprotected infantry in surrounding hexes. Or flashbang ammo for ACs that would stun infantry unit it hits for one round if you roll X+ on 2d6 (based on AC class of course).

Thing is, the books make reference to water cannons (I'm guessing .5 tons for the sprayer and .5 tons for the tank, as they've been described as being able to substitute for flamers or medium lasers), but beyond that the game doesn't offer any sort of non-lethal anti-personnel weaponry.
Given that several mechs - like the Urbanmech, Enforcer, Vulcan, and Wyvern - were specifically created for urban combat and police work, this is a rather critical oversight.

the only one I remember is the modified vehicle flamer with water.

White Wolf's HWK-4W Hawk.
Note the weapon description which is found in the design quirks page.
