Given the explicitly stated seven-minute flight time for the nuke that destroyed Vega's base, it had to be a medium-range ballistic missile at a range of approximately a thousand kilometers, not an ICBM from further out. Were it not for Kane in the cutscene ordering, "Emergency deployment...

The problem is that the 'Mech Taser is a literal taser which has to actually pierce the target's armor with a harpoon. Also, since it's delivering a mundane electrical charge, it's only going to affect things with either pseudo-organic myomer "muscles" like a Battlemech or actual organic muscles.
