4seventy, I know that you know that wasn't my point, nor would i suggest that a steel pipe has no parts to break and that should be the preferred weapon for dangerous game.

Logical or not, it is an argument that is often made: and if you're of the KISS school of thought, then you should know that extractors don't have as many parts as ejectors and thereby stand a greater chance of not breaking. Ejectors are a great invention and marvel of modern gun building.
