Which outcome occurred when early gunpowder residue built up excessively within a closed-breech firearm?

💡 Explanation

Excessive residue buildup increased bore pressure beyond design limits. Structural failure occurred because increased pressure exceeded the barrel's Yield Strength leading to catastrophic brittle fracture, therefore the barrel bursts, rather than simply eroding or affecting spin.
