← HistoryWhich outcome resulted upon complete obstruction of a 'fire arrow's' vent hole, compromising feudal bombardment strategies?
A)Erratic trajectory and shortened range
B)Premature, localized bamboo casing rupture✓
C)Increased arc, extended flight distance
D)Dense smoke plume, marking target location
💡 Explanation
Premature rupture occurs due to pressure buildup within the casing of the 'fire arrow' when the deflagration of gunpowder cannot vent. Therefore, the casing explodes rather than projecting; because the casing weakens before achieving muzzle velocity.
