← HistoryWhich outcome emerged during Qin dynasty crossbows that used multi-bolt firing?
A)Increased projectile damage per volley
B)Decreased aiming precision at range✓
C)Improved armour-piercing capability bolts
D)Reduced stress on the trigger mechanism
💡 Explanation
Decreased aiming precision happened due to the vibration during rapid firing affected bolt trajectories through barrel resonance, because the firing rate increased with multiple bolts. Therefore, the spread increased at longer distances, rather than focusing impact as single shot high velocity bolts.
