← HistoryWhich outcome primarily resulted from implementing adjustable 'nut height' in ancient Chinese repeating crossbows using gunpowder propulsion?
A)Reduced bolt cracking probabilities
B)Improved firing range consistency✓
C)Enhanced string tensional uniformity
D)Decreased trigger lock malfunction
💡 Explanation
Improved firing range consistency occurred because adjusting nut height altered powder compression, setting projectile velocity via controlled combustion, therefore targeting became more accurate with less variable power, rather than only structural benefits
