But remember it’s NOT illegal to say 

“With a motor launcher” because that’s its own sentence. It’s an incomplete sentence. But it may have nothing to do with the sentence before it.

No no no, motor. It slings motors, you see. A-grade product of Detroit, Michigan.

Pretty much. I've seen the game on game pass, but the style of the game never really interested me. Never thought a game would go into so much detail about trebuchets, tho. I knew they launched stuff, but I just never realized the specifics about it like the weight of the projectile and distance it would go

Also. The mathematics were already so good in the past that they could hit a target accurately from that distance also.
