Which effect accompanied the Han Dynasty military's increased use of cast iron trigger mechanisms in crossbows?

💡 Explanation

Increased reliability and strength enabled stronger bows, which improved performance; therefore, increased bolt velocity and range directly resulted from cast iron's material properties improving projectile launch, rather than requiring more complex sighting due to altered acoustics or corrosion effects influencing mechanism longevity.
