Which consequence arose when the strength of early cast iron cannon barrels exceeded processing capabilities during China’s Ming dynasty?

💡 Explanation

Barrel cracking probability increased because exceeding capabilities induced higher internal stresses and flaws during casting. Thus, barrels suffered brittle fracturing during cannon firing, rather than improving muzzle velocity or anything else, because the flawed material gave way.
