Which outcome reliably occurred when early cast iron crossbow trigger mechanisms fractured?

💡 Explanation

The default state shifted because the mechanism of brittle fracture caused the sear (trigger latch) to irreversibly deform under tension, therefore, releasing the bowstring unexpectedly, rather than allowing controlled firing or retaining tension.
