← HistoryWhich limitation affected the performance of early repeater crossbows due to their triggering mechanisms?
A)Inconsistent bolt release timing✓
B)Propellant deflagration rate variance
C)Poorly cast trigger sear surface
D)Inadequate string material strength
💡 Explanation
The outcome was reduced accuracy in repeater crossbows, because the trigger design induced minor variations in the timing of the bolt release sequence. This **timing variability** impacted projectile trajectory; therefore, precision suffered, rather than consistent power application issues or trigger material defects.
