← HistoryWhich constraint increases when a Song Dynasty multi-bolt crossbow's cast bronze trigger mechanism becomes too massive?
A)String vibration damping increases notably
B)Minimum draw force drastically increases
C)Probability of misfire dramatically increases✓
D)Overall corrosion resistance substantially decreases
💡 Explanation
A heavier bronze trigger utilizes more mass in its movement, affecting inertial delays; the indexing and release timing drifts because of the increased *inertia*, therefore this increases the likelihood of premature or failed release failures, rather than directly influencing draw force etc.
