← HistoryWhich risk increased notably once early Korean armies began using gunpowder-based Singijeon rockets?
A)Static discharge causing premature ignition✓
B)Improper forging yielding brittle barrels
C)Oxidation degrading the bowstring strength
D)Rapid cooling leading to cracking
💡 Explanation
Static buildup became a greater hazard because the rocket's gunpowder propellant was susceptible to accidental ignition via electrostatic discharge; therefore, careful handling procedures were paramount, rather than just material failures with bronze/steel compositions.
