← HistoryWithin Ming Dynasty weaponry, which consequence arises when variations occur during the casting of the crossbow's trigger mechanism?
A)Weaker projectile initial velocity
B)Unreliable firing of the projectile✓
C)Increased bowstring tensile strength
D)Lower draw weight efficiency
💡 Explanation
Unreliable firing emerges because subtle dimensional inaccuracies during investment casting alter the trigger's sear engagement; this results in unpredictable release rather than a consistent trigger pull. Therefore, misfires are more frequent, rather than simply reducing power.
