History

Which consequence increases for crew after repetitive firing when using a Roman torsion siege engine?

A)Increased shot trajectory deviation
B)Reduced engine frame cracking
C)Decreased projectile kinetic energy
D)Elevated risk of component embrittlement

💡 Explanation

Increased shot deviation appears because repeated stressing of the sinew springs causes material fatigue, which induces asymmetric tension during aiming, therefore targeting accuracy drops rapidly, rather than cracking which requires lower frequency higher stress, nor fatigue prevents embrittlement.
