Which mechanism causes inconsistent initial velocity during early cast iron crossbow manufacture?

💡 Explanation

Variations in cast iron density affect impulse transfer because inhomogeneity causes variable reaction force during release due to unequal stress distribution, therefore some crossbows fired weaker than others, rather than exclusively being a bowstring, trigger or projectile problem.
