← HistoryWhich 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.
