Which limitation results from a Gong Nu crossbow's repeated triggering at high draw-weight?

💡 Explanation

Repeated firing causes the sear's edge to abrade and round, a process called mechanical wear, leading to a reduced engagement angle; therefore, the trigger releases prematurely, causing auto-fire, rather than string creep or stock failure happening directly.
