History

Which failure sharply raised risk to early explosive cannons?

A)Breech explosion via insufficient sealing
B)Projectile jamming during rapid firing
C)Recoil stress weakening siege platforms
D)Overheated barrel causing slow firing

💡 Explanation

Early cannons were prone to breech explosions because of inadequate **gas sealing**, causing uncontrolled release of high-pressure propellant gases during firing sequence, rather than the projectile jamming or recoil because incomplete combustion creates uneven pressure.
