← HistoryWhich consequence develops in earliest gunpowder formulations owing to incomplete mixing?
A)Barrel pressure plateaus prematurely
B)Muzzle velocity varies excessively✓
C)Consistent flame propagation fails
D)Chamber temperatures become unstable
💡 Explanation
Variability in gunpowder composition causes inconsistent combustion rates due to insufficient mass diffusion occurring within the reactants. Therefore muzzle velocity varies with each firing, rather than maintaining a uniform output, because flame propagation affects pressure regulation.
