← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from flaws in Han Dynasty crossbow triggers?
A)Inconsistent projectile launch force✓
B)Premature decay of bow string
C)Misalignment of aiming mechanism
D)Brittle fracture of the prod
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate cast-iron crossbow triggers introduce significant variation in sear release via the friction mechanism, because imperfect lever actuation modulates force during firing; therefore, projectile velocity varies at different rates, rather than offering consistent energy for predictable trajectories.
