← HistoryWhich consequence occurred when mass-produced Chinese crossbow trigger mechanisms experienced dimensional inconsistencies?
A)Localized variations in firing power✓
B)Catastrophic structural splintering occurred
C)Premature hemp string degradation happened
D)Decreased wood moisture content resulted
💡 Explanation
Inconsistent dimensions in triggers caused variations in the sear mechanism because some sears released the bowstring at differing force levels, therefore, crossbowmen experienced projectile inaccuracy, rather than uniform ballistics.
