← HistoryWhich consequence occurred when mass-produced Chinese crossbow trigger mechanisms experienced dimensional inconsistencies?

B)Catastrophic structural splintering occurred

Inconsistent dimensions in triggers caused variations in the sear mechanism because some sears released the bowstring at differing force levels, therefore, crossbowmen experienced projectile inaccuracy, rather than uniform ballistics.
