Which consequence results when repeated firing of a Han Dynasty automatic crossbow leads to structural changes in the bronze trigger mechanism?

💡 Explanation

Dimensional inaccuracy occurs because creep, the gradual deformation under sustained stress, introduces changes in the bronze trigger's precise dimensions. Therefore, accuracy degrades rather than rate, or corrosion effects because bronze is corrosion-resistant and properly heat may prevent quick yielding.
