Which risk increased following the Chinese development of cast iron cannon around the 14th century?

💡 Explanation

Inaccurate casting led to variable bore diameters which introduced inconsistent projectile sealing affecting internal ballistics; thereby variable expansion occurs because projectile fit varies during firing, resulting in inconsistent velocity outcomes; therefore muzzle velocity dispersion increased, rather than string problems, windage, or simpler thermal issues.
