What if? If what if happens...send it back and get a new one. This shouldn't be a concern to anyone.

You should be happy if you find out you have a defective one while in your yard with a camera rather than out in the field, combat zone, 2 week hike by your onesy!

I don't want to hear any crap about how this "could" happen while you are in a survival situation because you should have already tested your equipment!

An officer doesn't carry a pistol he hasn't already shot/disassembled/cleaned and field tested. A soldier doesn't go into combat without knowing the inner workings of his rifle...he knows exactly how to use "Kentucky Windage" because he has USED that rifle extensively!

I would consider this a good thing...a lesson to anyone living in a shell. TEST and KNOW your equipment before putting yourself in a situation where you NEED IT!
