← HistoryWhich early outcome constrained massive crossbow adoption, despite gunpowder's incendiary potential, marking late Song Dynasty warfare?
A)Propellant's instability caused weapon fragility✓
B)Limited accuracy frustrated field deployment
C)Rapid corrosion negated continuous readiness
D)Cast iron production restricted output
💡 Explanation
Propellant instability caused weapon fragility because inconsistent deflagration pressures induced catastrophic failures. Therefore reliable incendiary projectiles were unattainable, rather than deployment failures arising from range inconsistency, since standardized components couldn't withstand pressure variance.
