← HistoryWhich outcome resulted when the Chinese Ming Dynasty adopted black powder in bamboo-barreled rocket artillery (fire arrows)?
A)Increased projectile launch inaccuracy✓
B)Faster reloading cycle between volleys
C)Reduced misfires impacting troop morale
D)Decreased rate of bamboo barrel bursting

Increased inaccuracy resulted because inconsistent black powder mixtures introduced unpredictable thrust causing launch instability via the thrust misalignment mechanism; therefore aim suffered horribly, rather than improved reload or barrel integrity during that era.
