Also remember that the polymer parts are largely FDM printed which
doesn't provide the smoothest surface, and in the case of the magazine
might cause enough drag to cause the issues.
Before they try to solve the stability issues, they need to work on
velocity, IMO. A finned projectile needs velocity to stabilize and at
this point I'm not sure that would happen.
