They don't work. I've tested with the stock installation, dud torpedoes turned off, and fired at all different depths to ensure I'm getting close to the keel. Always at slow speed too. And I toggled the magnetic pistol off/on to make sure it was enabled as per the crew dialogue box.
Heck, I even fired shots below the keel with impact pistol, in case the impact/magnetic setting was actually mixed up in the game!
I've also fired torps along the full length of ships from bow to stern and they never go off.
So yes, I'm almost certain they're completely broken.
