simple answer (considering tech of SR): shotgun load of 2 med weights with a meter of monofilament line connecting, contained within shotgun shell. might be restricted to specially modified shotguns as the round would be longer than normal, or only usable in break-action guns, per GM decision.

available at all hardware stores in the Yard and Garden Dept.

From the description of its test firings, I say that sounds amazing. Fire ten of those at an advancing army, see what happens ^^

Imagine the disaster if one of a pair doesn't go off or misfires?

Since tech is crazy awesome in shadowrun I've always assumed mono-bolas had a reel system inside one of the balls so you didn't have to worry about getting sliced up while carrying them. Sort of like the monowhip having a weighted ball on one end and the wire stored in the handle when not in use.

Imagining the disaster is half of the fun :p

Technically a bola could be 2-3 grenades linked and thrown. Something should make them seperate and spin about but it could work in the same way as a burst from a grenade launcher.
And then use HE grenades to give your target an exploding neck-tie.

I actually think Q demonstrate that for 007 in one of the newer films.

I love the fact it took four minutes and one post for folks to start talking about taking a decidedly non-lethal weapon and applying it in lethal ways. Not that Grenade Bola isn't Classy as hell. That's a weapon you always bring to a meet.

How about we combine the two for s--ts and giggles? I know I'd do that if I could!

With monowire. Because it's monowire.

Speaking of monowire, you think it could be possible to make a net out of it? And more importantly, put it in a net gun?

Why not? They did it in AVP!

The, "You don't want to move anymore" net.

[Red Canti]

Pretty sure that Net was around as early as Predator 2. But if you can make Monowire Bolas I don't see how the Net would be out of the question.

AKA The "Shred you like mozzarella cheese" net.

[beowulf_of_wa]

grenades make salsa, chunky or not so much,
monowire nets made a really messy pico de gallo, or maybe cube steak

Speaking of Monowire and range weapons.. Why not a Bow with a Mono-filament String? Sure you'd need to wear gloves and your arrows will be a bit more expensive, but if your enemies get too close for your arrows to be effective, you got a unique little taunt Monowire blade..

[Zilfer]

Someone already beat me to the punch with Monowire and grenades.... me and my buddy were just talking about bolas and grenades as the ends of them to trip people, then give them a nice "present" then he was like, oh! we could make it out of mono wire! That's where we both couldn't stop laughing for about a good minute.

Crossbow with two bolts, set so the bolts are aimed away from each other a bit. Monowire between the bolts.
