← HistoryDuring the rise of the Han Dynasty, which systemic limit constrained large-scale crossbow volley effectiveness?
A)Inconsistent arrowhead weight distribution✓
B)Rapid oxidation of bronze triggers
C)Thermal expansion of composite bows
D)Brittle nature of early cast-iron
💡 Explanation
Inconsistent arrowhead weight distribution affected projectile trajectories because aerodynamic balance was crucial for range; therefore inaccurate volleys reduced effectiveness, rather than bow failure or trigger malfunction which impacted individual shots.
