Beginning in the Han dynasty, which limitation increased as continuous draw crossbow firing rates increased?

💡 Explanation

Bowstring material choice limits firing rate because the mechanism of tensile creep shortens life and thereby decreases reliability; therefore early crossbow designs had relatively lower sustained draw rates, rather than succumbing to trigger wear or oxidation.
