I've read one should (or could) use silicon spray (non fatty/greasy lubricant) - untrue?

Only if you clean it off all metal to metal wear areas and then lube them correctly, silicone oil is worse than nothing on metal to metal applications as it makes a nice grinding paste!
On Umarex pistols the CO2 lube will get on the metal mag and metal mag advance system.

Grinding paste? How so? I'm talking about the sort of lubricant used for (precision) locks, but also applications like sleeved brake/clutch cables. You wouldn't want something that only wears them down quicker there, so are we talking about the same kind of product?
(flashback to my schooldays ... silicon atoms can theoretically replace the carbon atoms in organic compounds without changing the 3D molecule structure too much so I guess it's not because sand contains a lot of silicates that all silicon oil is grinding paste?)

PS: I guess it's still better than good ole WD40? )
