You're very welcome!

Basically knowing which type of pistol you want is just knowing how each one works and what type of shot you are setting up, or what kind is available. One nice thing about the magnetic fuses is they are still an option when it's impossible or very difficult to get in the kind of position necessary for a good clean impact detonation. The angle is not so crucial, since they don't need a physical "hit" to make them work. I usually set them to run 1 meter below the keel, or even a bit higher if the seas are rough enough to make the target pitch up and down. If they run too far below they don't pass through the E/M field and you get nothing but IME even if they are high enough to hit the keel when they actually get to the target it doesn't matter since they're already passing through the E/M field and probably detonating before they actually hit it.
