← HistoryWhich mechanical consequence results when a repeating crossbow's bronze casting cools unevenly?
A)Reduced trigger sear engagement
B)Increased draw weight variability
C)Bolt magazine jamming probability✓
D)Elevated string wear rate
💡 Explanation
Uneven cooling induces *differential thermal expansion* in the casting. Because frame misalignment results, therefore reliable bolt feeding becomes compromised, rather than only affecting trigger control or draw weight consistency which are secondary concerns.
