History

Which outcome occurred because of gunpowder’s inconsistency in early trebuchet counterweight ordnance?

A)Projectile range became highly variable
B)Trebuchet frames suffered catastrophic breakage
C)Counterweights exhibited unexpected fracturing
D)Gunpowder residue caused combustion instability

💡 Explanation

Because early gunpowder mixtures were not uniformly combined, internal ballistic properties varied wildly; therefore projectile range varied due to inconsistent deflagration, rather than structural load issues or purely chemical considerations.
