← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from inconsistent Bronze Age crossbow spring tempering?
A)Variance of projectile kinetic energy✓
B)Complete structural failure of trigger
C)Increased vulnerability to corrosion
D)Diminished draw force amplification
💡 Explanation
Inconsistent tempering leads to variable spring constants across crossbows; different spring constant causes different projectile velocity due to Hooke's Law, therefore kinetic energy varies significantly from bow to bow, rather than uniform launch characteristics.
