In my experience, mag pistols are really sensitive to heavy seas and are increasingly likely to detonate prematurely after a run of about 900 meters. Impact pistols are equally weird about the angle of impact. Ensuring a 90 degree Angle-on-Bow is extremely important. Mag pistols are best with short range shots and impact is best (from my observations) at long and extreme range. Even in calm waters, the longer the torpedo runs, the likelihood of a mag pistol misfire increases.
