← HistoryWhich limitation was partially overcome by the Song Dynasty's use of cast composite crossbow triggers?
A)Decreased trigger material hardness
B)Reduced mass production feasibility✓
C)Increased sensitivity to corrosion
D)Reduced power stroke synchronization
💡 Explanation
Cast triggers allowed for relatively consistent parts via investment casting, easing production quantities, because they simplified manufacturing relative to individually hand-fabricated mechanisms; therefore, feasibility increased, rather than trigger hardness changing or synchronization concerns being central.
