Which risk increases, when early cast iron crossbow triggers deform?

💡 Explanation

If a cast iron crossbow trigger deforms due to creep, catastrophic failure increases, because the geometrical locking relies on precise dimensions; therefore, trigger failure becomes more likely, rather than a merely degraded performance that still allows to use it with lowered accuracy.
