Which risk increased during the Song Dynasty development of early gunpowder weapons such as fire arrows?

💡 Explanation

Premature barrel explosion probability rose because inconsistencies in gunpowder composition and lack of sophisticated metal casting caused structural weaknesses, resulting in catastrophic failures, therefore early cannons exploded rather than consistently projecting projectiles. Other issues are related to aerodynamics.
