Which constraint on early bronze cannons promoted larger bore diameters?

💡 Explanation

Higher bore diameters resulted due to the increased creep vulnerability; bronze undergoes slower deformation under stress near gunpowder ignition temperatures triggering metal fatigue, because the metal flowed more than the iron of later cannons, therefore creep drove diameter choices rather than internal ballistic needs.
