Fucking dangling modifiers. I thought they were saying that they manufactured targets using a pendulum-like device. I kept reading that statement thinking it was such an oddly specific detail to vaguely reference. But using a pendulum to ensure consistent force and accuracy makes sense.
Although, for my money, I’d rather strap a dead hand to a rocket-powered sled.
I take “a pendulum-like device” to mean they suspended either the arms or the targets and swung them to a collision.

Yes, it was very badly constructed. I had to read it a couple of times to decode it, and I have the advantage of having graded essays :)
