← HistoryWhich outcome resulted when the Chinese Ming Dynasty adopted black powder in bamboo-barreled rocket artillery (fire arrows)?
A)Increased projectile launch inaccuracy✓
B)Faster reloading cycle between volleys
C)Reduced misfires impacting troop morale
D)Decreased rate of bamboo barrel bursting
💡 Explanation
Increased inaccuracy resulted because inconsistent black powder mixtures introduced unpredictable thrust causing launch instability via the thrust misalignment mechanism; therefore aim suffered horribly, rather than improved reload or barrel integrity during that era.
