← HistoryWhich property limited the large-scale use of early Qing Dynasty matchlock firearms versus Ming cannons?
A)Propellant deflagration rate consistency✓
B)Barrel embrittlement from slag inclusions
C)Breech block thread deformation limits
D)Priming charge hygroscopic properties
💡 Explanation
Matchlock firearms relied on the gunpowder propellant's consistent rate of deflagration to function, because irregular burning affected projectile velocity and accuracy; therefore, their practical effective range was limited, rather than issues exclusively relating to material flaws or priming charges.
