Which of these occurred often when Roman onagers launched projectiles during sieges?

💡 Explanation

Torsion rope snap would occur because the material limitations of the twisted fiber bundle could be exceeded, over-stressing the winch launching system. Therefore, the onager suffered from recoil rather than maintaining smooth torque, because of material constraints limiting the spring constant.
