← HistoryWhich impediment impacted Qing Dynasty crossbow effectiveness due to materials degradation?
A)Bows deform under sustained tension✓
B)Bronze trigger corrodes rapidly
C)Strings fray quickly on edges
D)Varnish discolors reducing camouflage
💡 Explanation
Loss was inevitable when constant stress induced CREEP. Polymer bows suffered plastic deformation from high-tension storage because the crystalline structure degraded even at room temperature, therefore reducing the crossbow's accuracy rather than retaining original precision.
