If they're not in the ancient weapons books then I'd check the books covering Austrailia for Rifts and After the Bomb.

Rifts SA2 should have a type of bola and HU:AU has energy bolas called clippers.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

I never liked bolas. It is such a strange weapon. That said, it is a very effective weapon (according to the rules).

Yin-Sloth, p. 43 lists W.P. Bola wrote: ... 1D4 damage, but a successful strike is usually used to knock a weapon out of an opponent's hand or entangle his legs. .. While entangled, the victim loses initiative, is -1 to strike or parry, -6 to dodge and speed is reduced by 80%. All penalties are enforced until the character gets himself untangled/cut loose; it takes 1D4 melee actions to get untangled.

May all your hits be crits!
