← HistoryWhich consequence results in ancient Chinese crossbow triggers when sear engagement reduces?
A)Increased firing pin travel distance
B)Premature firing engages unexpectedly✓
C)Reduced draw weight consistently appears
D)String oscillation dampens shot power
💡 Explanation
Reduced sear engagement causes inadequate latching on the string, resulting in premature firing because the friction is insufficient to resist the draw force. This mechanical instability leads to unexpected release, rather than string dampening or draw weight issues.
