History

Which early outcome during Ming Dynasty cannon founding increased risk when imperfect molds were hastily cast?

A)Propellant deflagration becomes detonation
B)Incomplete combustion increases smoke
C)Accelerated bore erosion propagates cracks
D)Projectile shattering reduces range

💡 Explanation

Detonation risk increases because of rapid GAS ACCUMULATION caused by flawed casting; non-uniform walls cannot contain the pressure. This leads to explosive failure, therefore a mold imperfection causing instability is greater concern during cannon operation rather than range reduction.
