Which consequence resulted from the enhanced sealing of early cast iron bombards used with Chinese gunpowder?

💡 Explanation

Increased confinement promotes more efficient heat transfer within the propellant, creating a higher gas pressure because of thermal expansion, which propels the projectile faster; therefore, increased muzzle velocity and range occur, rather than reduced rate of burning.
