I haven't had any problems with the Mag. pistols. In all honesty, even without the skill to reduce dud chances, the game is very generous with successful torpedo detonations, regardless of pistol. I finished a SHIII patrol a few days ago and found out the hard way how easy it is to be spoiled by SH5. If there is an issue with torpedoes it is that the successful detonation rate is actually too high. Historically, the Germans had all kinds of problems with the torpedoes. Specifically, the Mag triggers were faulty, especially in high latitudes. Likewise, premature detonation was a problem in rough seas. The impact trigger would also jam unless struck as close to a 90 degree angle as practicable.
