Which limitation influenced Song dynasty cannon effectiveness due to material?

💡 Explanation

The lack of standardized molds initially caused *bore diameter variation*, because consistent casting processes were difficult to achieve in large-scale cannon production; therefore range suffered rather than structural failure because inconsistencies were the primary factor.
