Nato and Faust both own one. Nate, as expected, locked his up, as he did not lube a vital part that requires lube, but receives little, if any, at the factory. Faust, being the good german boy he is, researched and lubed his bits (ha!) and has had no problems. Nate's is in working condition now, but I don't like standing too close to him, as I worry that, at any moment, his entire kit may violent implode. Or explode. Or try to eat me.
