← HistoryWhich consequence arises when a manganon siege engine's torsion bundle unwinds unevenly during Roman siege warfare?
A)Decreased projectile firing range✓
B)Increased stone projectile fragmentation
C)Localized catastrophic frame fracturing
D)Elevated release trigger wear rate
💡 Explanation
Uneven torsion causes decreased range because the stored energy is misdirected, manifesting as imperfect launch angle rather than maximizing projectile velocity via efficient energy transfer. Therefore, range decreases, rather than causing immediate destruction or affecting the trigger mechanism.
