← HistoryWhat limitation increased when early Chinese fire arrows experienced reduced gunpowder combustion?
A)Projectile range is greatly shortened✓
B)Arrow trajectory becomes much stable
C)Combustion rate quickly stabilizes out
D)Launch recoil damage vastly diminishes
💡 Explanation
Reduced gunpowder reaction leads to decreased thrust because momentum transfer was lessened, therefore, the projectile range suffered, rather than other advantages such as increased stability, which requires consistent propulsion; momentum transfer depends on complete combustion.
