← HistoryWhich challenge increased when early Chinese armies enhanced simple fire arrows into metal-tube launched 'rocket arrows'?
A)Achieving precise velocity control✓
B)Minimizing corrosive effect of gasses
C)Containing blast waves energy
D)Maintaining black powder composition
💡 Explanation
Achieving range and accuracy was difficult, because inconsistent thrust from differential burn rate of the raw gunpowder batches increased the variation in projectile `momentum transfer`, therefore velocity control mattered rather than composition or corrosion in early application.
