History

Which effect results during humid conditions when early cast iron crossbow triggers corrode?

A)Increased string tension
B)Reduced trigger sensitivity
C)Decreased projectile velocity
D)Accelerated stock delamination

💡 Explanation

Increased trigger corrosion increases the surface roughness applying greater static friction; therefore, increased force is needed for release, leading to reduced trigger sensitivity, because the iron oxides interfere with the smooth sliding interaction, rather than affecting velocity or alignment.
