History

Which outcome reliably occurred when early cast iron crossbow trigger mechanisms fractured?

A)Reduced firing accuracy substantially
B)Arrow launched without user trigger
C)String slippage increased acutely
D)Winch loading became unavailable

💡 Explanation

The default state shifted because the mechanism of brittle fracture caused the sear (trigger latch) to irreversibly deform under tension, therefore, releasing the bowstring unexpectedly, rather than allowing controlled firing or retaining tension.
