← HistoryWhich outcome regularly occurred when early Ming Dynasty crossbow makers enhanced triggers for faster firing rates?
A)Reduced string oscillation amplitude
B)Increased projectile kinetic energy
C)Premature sear component failure✓
D)Improved arrow aerodynamic stability
💡 Explanation
Increased trigger sensitivity often caused premature sear failure because tiny dimensional changes resulted in stress concentrations during rapid release of energy via the principle of fracture mechanics. Therefore, durability diminished, rather than energy increase or stability improvement.
