Which outcome occurs when early European cannons employed 'serpentine' ignition before standardized casting?

💡 Explanation

In 'serpentine' cannons, spark inefficiencies existed because the ignition pathway was not precise, causing variable burn rates, therefore inconsistent flame propagation will occur, rather than more predictably contained burns of the cartridge systems from later designs.
