Which outcome occurs when the volatile compound ratio in early cast iron gunpowder siege engines is insufficiently controlled?

💡 Explanation

Insufficient control leads to varying deflagration because differing compound volatility causes uneven burn rates and pressure spikes, therefore premature barrel breech explosions increase, rather than improved velocity or combustion byproduct decline.
