← HistoryWhich limitation constrained use of gunpowder in Song dynasty trebuchets, making sustained bombardment difficult?
A)Batch variability in gunpowder composition✓
B)Iron casting quality influenced explosion efficiency
C)Trebuchet arm material limited projectile weight
D)Transportation safety regarding nitrate separation
💡 Explanation
Batch variability limited sustained bombardment because gunpowder composition varied significantly, influencing explosive power and reliability; therefore explosions would likely be inconsistent, rather than the others, which influenced other parameters of the design.
