Which risk increased when Byzantine ships deployed naphtha projectors?

💡 Explanation

Unintended fires increased due to the weapon using pressurized ignited naphtha. This positive feedback fire risk was created by Greek Fire's projectile propulsion. It reduced operational safety rather than increasing accuracy or maneuverability, because the oil itself was extremely flammable; therefore, careful handling was paramount.
