Non-lethal methods are either dangerous to the users and overly lethal (knock-out gas) or comparatively inferior (gel rounds) or inordinately expensive (capsule rounds and compound of choise; those things don't last forever, you know).

If we're talking about a worthwhile target, I usually outfit the light security with tasers, from which, while expensive, the savings far out weight the cost of a single employee death. I mean, seriously, do your runs happen in a vacuum? Is there not a family or researcher on the other side of the door way your runners are hiding behind? Does unloading SMGs in an apartment, school, university, laboratory, and so on make any kind of sense? Outside the ten inch plascrete maybe, but on the inside of those bullet resistant windows you don't want to pull out the lead unless you can trap the runners in your kill zones. Sorry, I just don't buy the idea that giving the lowliest guard a lethal weapon results in a profitable enterprise. The value of the furniture alone makes using tasers and knock-out gas worthwhile.

That means mana spells cut through them like a knife through hot butter.

Just about anything will serve when hot butter's in your way.
