If the lasso is around your waist, could you just leave it there while you run up towards your attacker.

I'm trying to figure out how that lasso got past the arms.

Note how each toss is made within two yards here...

Your target was a football referee signalling that the field goal attempt was good! LOL

Ever see Manhunter?

But also makes clear, the target isn't falling unless the horse were to pull against him.

Actually any videos anywhere showing a lariat NOT on a horse, lassoing and bringing down a charging animal?

Have you and a buddy ever tripped someone with a rope? Doesn't take a lot of strength but the rope will get ripped from your hands.

Yeah. Also, ever see Ben Hur? Entangling someone doesn't always work out...

I think the lasso is nuts for two reasons: the lack of save for the knock down effect (as you pointed out) and the missile weapon range penalties (!!!!!), which I consider demented.

And why does lasso have no penalty to target specific body parts?

Yes, this! Lasso-ing someone (or entangling with a whip, bolo, chain, etc.) should definitely require a successful 'called shot'.
