Which unintended consequence occurred because of the delayed ignition impacting effectiveness of the Congreve rockets during Napoleonic Wars?

💡 Explanation

In Congreve rockets, inconsistent manufacture created delayed ignition which caused variations in thrust causing inaccurate trajectory and instability due to center of mass shift; it was an erratic Impulse rather than controlled thrust, therefore the rockets scattered, rather than hitting as a tight volley.
