The biggest flaw of the automag, IMO, was no downstream pressure vents.
If the downstream flow because supersaturated with liquid co2 (because of angle, etc), it could easily go supercritical on a warm day, resulting in a pressure spike of 2000-3000psi!
I remember one time, in particular, that such a Automag was chronoed at 1200fps!! Now, I realize that was clearly a chrono error because of the paint shrapnel leaving the barrel, but it was also incredibly loud to boot. The players in the nearby field stopped playing, and all looked at the chrono.
