Which risk increased in early Chinese crossbows when rapid firing exceeded optimal design?

💡 Explanation

Plastic deformation became an issue because exceeding the design limits stressed the trigger sears beyond ultimate tensile strength; thus, this material Yielding plastically was more common, rather than string fraying or wood delaminating due to relatively lower thermal inputs and slower moisture.
