← HistoryWhich outcome occurs as early fire arrows using oxidized gunpowder lacked proper flight stabilization?
A)Increased explosive yield reliability
B)Inconsistent trajectories unpredictable accuracy✓
C)Reduced rate burning complete thrust
D)Enhanced penetration terminal trajectory
💡 Explanation
Early fire arrows exhibited unstable flight because the powder oxidation caused inconsistent thrust vectors; therefore flight was erratic rather than having predictable paths, making targeting inaccurate before fins were added using drag steering.
