A bola deployment device for launching a bola from a firearm has a housing member, a plurality of tubular segments with pockets for inserting a bola weight and a stowage area for placing the bola cord. The bola deployment device is attached to the end of a firearm and when fired, the weighted ends of the bola effectively separate from each other as the bola departs from the bola deployment device.
