I have heard of rubber bullets and bean bags used in crowd control/riots, but I don't know if they worked very well. A good old fire hose works. That is what has been used to repel protesters attempting to board ships.
Swedish commercial vessels, in modern times, used stainless steel bows and arrows to repell boarders. I do not know any further details, but I have seen those bows.
