Which consequence results when improperly manufactured black powder is used within early cast-iron cannons?

💡 Explanation

Incomplete propellant burning occurs because granule VARIATION reduces the SURFACE AREA uniformity for ignition. Lower surface area ratios increase the deflagration time significantly; therefore incomplete reaction means less kinetic energy imparted to the projectile, rather than optimal trajectory.
