← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from inconsistent Chinese gunpowder during early cannon development?
A)Reduced artillery projectile range✓
B)Increased barrel steel hardness
C)Faster trunnion fracture formation
D)Amplified misfire chamber pressures
💡 Explanation
Reduced artillery projectile range occurs because inconsistent mixing causes uneven combustion. Imperfect combination lowers the total combustion, therefore projectiles travel less far, rather than increased cannon stress from excess powder or misfires.
