Magna bolas consisted of three heavy, metallic balls attached by a thin wire. They were twirled and thrown at a target, and if aimed correctly, their natural rotation entangled the target in the wire. The metal balls were then activated, producing a strong magnetic attraction which made the bolas nearly impossible to escape.

Behind the scenesEdit

Magna bolas are based on bolas, a medieval throwing weapon used for capture of a fleeing target. "Bolas" means balls, when translated from Spanish and Portuguese.
