Which outcome accelerated Roman ballista projectile velocity by torsion spring development?

💡 Explanation

When stronger torsion springs were used, intensified energy storage and release occurred using twisted ropes because a higher elastic restoring force during launch leads to increased projectile acceleration. Therefore siege range and impact force increased, rather than portability, simplified operation or accuracy which don't directly result from faster projectiles.
