Which destructive outcome occurs when gunpowder moisture content is insufficient during ancient Chinese military deployment?

💡 Explanation

Unstable deflagration of gunpowder causes explosions, arising from reduced inhibition, because a lower quantity of water prevents proper control of the reaction. Therefore, widespread explosive events erupt at low moisture levels, rather than achieving stable combustion for standardized weaponry function.
