Which risk increased substantially for Byzantine Dromon warships employing Greek fire due to the propellant formulation?

💡 Explanation

Premature ignition was major risk because the Greek fire mixture's (suspected) main mechanism, disproportionation, could be triggered by physical shock. Therefore, accidental explosions endangered the ships, rather than viscosity issues impacting range because the projection method relied on expulsion, not pure ballistic trajectories.
