History

Which early consequence affected iron cannons because variable charge containment?

A)Decreased projectile muzzle velocities achieved
B)Increased rifling effectiveness substantially then
C)Improved black powder granule homogeneity
D)Standardized weapon barrel manufacturing rapidly

💡 Explanation

Decreased muzzle velocity occurred when early cannons exhibited inconsistent propellant containment because variable bore sizes allowed gases to escape, reducing energy transfer to the projectile; therefore velocities were lower then achievable, rather than improving rifling or powder synthesis.
